Does this look like worms?

[WillowRidgeFarm]

Found these white specks in a chicken poop and wanted to see what kind of worms they look to be?

Are they moving? Tapeworm?

I don’t see any noticeable movement. Would safeguard or ivermectin be better?

I've tagged someone who should be able to help. I'm a newby

My guess is that those are tapeworm segments. When freshly laid, they will be moving. While Valbazen and SafeGuard liquid goat wormers are best for most chicken worms, with tapeworms, you will need something with praziquantel. Dog or cat tapeworm medicine, such as Droncit or Drontal will work, and there is also horse wormers, such as Equimax or Zimectrin Gold. I or someone else may help with dosage of that particular product. Here is a good video of tapeworm segments:

They are tapeworm segments. Buy Equimax equine paste at a feed store. Dosage is 0.03ml per pound of weight or for a 5lb bird give 0.15ml orally. Repeat dosing in 10-14 days.
No need to dose all your birds, just the one(s) that excrete tapeworm segments.
Worm the infected bird(s) prior to feeding them early in the morning, then feed the bird(s) 2 hours later. The wormer will be more effective killing the starving tapeworms.

Thank you. I’m not sure which ones are pooping out the worms(I have a large flock). Would it hurt to just deworm them all? Is there an egg withdrawal period?

Not really, I usually buy worming powder and put it in their water and feed (correct dosage).
