[sandrameissnest]

hi,
i don't really know how they should look like
but today when i took the water ball out to give them clean water, was some dirt ( maybe even old poop ) on the side of the bottom of the water ball,
and then i saw 3 little white worms ( moving ) they were around 1/2 to 3/4 long and maybe 2-3 mm thick.
do the worms what chicken have live ? or die when they come out ? when they get to the air?
thanks so much...
p.s i wanted to make a pic.. but the small chickens where so fast they eat them scary....
thanks Sandra
if someone has a picture of what i should be looking for that would be great.
i think one of them has a slight liquid poop.

Occasional slightly liquid poop might be ceacal poop and is normal.
Is it warm yet where you are at? Maybe flies layed eggs and they are maggots?

I'm not an expert on worms or worming.

I'm going to send a message to one of BYCs worm experts.

ETA- I do not think they can get worms from the maggots.

Please post a pic. I'll tell you exactly what you're dealing with. In the meantime, here's a pic of what large roundworms look like:
