I found some kind of worms in my chicken scat, don't know what kind. Can I just order a broad spect

Could be worms, could be bacteria, yeast, or protozoa. Is he acting 100% normal?

Yes, acting fine. I was unable to catch him pooping just now but will make sure to watch him closely tomorrow. If I see something similar to this picture again, I will definitely get a sample to be tested. Of course I'll let you know.

Look at yourself in the mirror Hamiam..... Has it come to this? LG I liked your post but I found azygous descriptions very upsetting.

I particularly enjoyed the word "splorts"

Not only do I look at chicken poop in the coop (I'm a poet and don't know it) but I often look at it on the bottom of my boots... then on the kitchen floor...

And, then there's the evening roost checks, when you enter the coop and your presence gets the birds excited. The gentle thud of the turds as they fall into the DL from every perch.

LG, you've just confirmed my suspicions that my chickens cut loose with a sudden blizzard of poops as I walk into the run because they are excited to see me. And the profusion of cecals mean they are really excited to see me.

 

[lazy gardener]

The only thing worse than a cecal is one that you've stepped on. And the only thing worse than that, INFINITELY worse than that is the one that the dog just ate.
