I had a chicken die about a week ago.  She was weak and laying in the corner of the run or coop for a few days beforehand.  A few days later another chicken was doing the same thing, but hasn't died. I searched the web with her symptoms of lethargy, hardly eating, watery poop.... thinking I might have a "backyard" epidemic on my hands.  None of the diseases I looked up seemed to completely describe her symptoms (one or two symptoms in disease descriptions were off).  Tonight, I was watching her and she had a watery poop, but this time I saw little worms.  I never thought I would be happy to see worms, but at least I thought I could now address the problem.  Unfortunately, the worm pics I've seen online, don't look like hers.  They definitely were not round worms.  Maybe small tape worms.  They were about 1/2 long and kind of looked transparent.  There were about 4-5 little worms in that one watery poop.   Does anyone know what they are or how I should treat them.  I had some wormer for round worms I put in their water, but I doubt this will help since they don't look like roundworms.  I would appreciate any advice.  I've been obsessed about this for several days.
