I'm making a new thread in hopes for more notice, my old previous thread:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/chicken-suddenly-sick-laid-a-ruptured-egg.1247615/
Basically my 3 year old Easter Egger is trying to pass through another ruptured, soft-shelled egg, this happened two years ago and had been fine after that until now again. Currently she is starting to poop a bit more but still passing clear yolk, however there's a new problem on our hands... one of her recent poops had worms, I immediately inspected it after she dropped it and the worms were dead, not moving at all.
Here's some pics (sorry I don't know how to spoiler them on mobile)
any idea what kind of worms these could be? I put some ACV in their water and some minced garlic in their food. I haven't been able to observe my other chickens' poop but they act and behave normally.
On the upside my EE is drinking more water, as she wasn't before.... still hesitant to eat though.
Any help and advice would be appreciated!
