has anyone seen these before …

in your chickens poop ?

i almost thought they were grains of sand. they’re tiny and round and super hard. i can break them open only by

pressing down hard with my fingernail. they also kinda look like a seed ?

my girls gets lots of free range time and eat all kinds of stuff. just want to make sure it’s nothing to worry about … does anyone recognize them ??

I would guess they are some type of seed or grain.

Do you give them any type of mixed scratch?

no i haven’t been giving them any grain lately, since there’s so much stuff to forage right now. unless it’s something in their layer feed ? but i haven’t noticed it in the other twos poop

interesting. Looks like a seed for sure. look fir what is going to seed right now on your land that chickens have access to.

could they be tapeworm eggs ? they don’t look like the eggs i encountered before but maybe these are the beginning stage ? they’re so hard though

Tapeworm eggs would have to be seen under a microscope.
