After image googling roundworm, I still say that's what you've got. Here is a poultry site that shows roundworms in a petri dish and tells how to treat them.

I totally agree. That's what they are....Roundworms!!! Yuck

The round worms are also common in cats or animals that hunt, eat bugs, rodents and other wild critters ! I used Ivomectine...wonder if I should get something stronger! Geesh.
Some times I swear, you treat a condition, read a chapter on that then there is something else you missed. Wow. Thank you for sharing the picture of the worm, I have never seen one, yet have had cats with them. With the cat we had to treat every animal in out home that shared a dish. I very much agree with the

face everyone is giving! ewwwie.

Wazine 17 will take care of that roundworm problem.

I agree with everyone that it looks like a roundworm. Why did the eprinex NOT kill it?

In a matter of 2 hours, this worm has dried up and shriveled up to almost nothing. No wonder why I dont see anymore in the coop. I guess you really need to watch when they actually are in the act of pooping to catch this. I am so sad that the treatment 2 months ago did not help and that one of my little birds are possibly feeling really really bad.

Thanks everyone.

Looks like a tape worm to me.

I haven't thought of worming my chickens. That changed today!
