Help - Is this a worm in the poo?

[BradleyRobert]

I have four new 7-day old Silkies. This morning I noticed this in the poop of one of them. (See pic) Is this a worm? I can't think of anything they might have eaten to produce this! (They all seem healthy and happy.)

If it is - I can look around some more at the forums, but any help/suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!

In my experience every 10 to 20 poops you'll get something that looks like that. It's like their body takes everything that got stuck in their intestines and shoots it out.
Worms that come out are typically still wiggling around and the chicken ends up eating it again (eww i know).

No, just poo. It takes longer for a worms life cycle than seven days.

Thanks so much! This website has been such a wonderful blessing to me - a new daddy to chicks!

Nope looks just fine to me.
