    Maggots on some of the poop on the poop board. Certain they are maggots, but not sure if they hatched on top due to me not cleaning the coop for two days or if someone ate something bad and it came from inside. Thoughts?? No, I've never wormed them, but I've never had to. DE in the feed and ACV in the water for the past 4 months. Everyone is acting fine and laying well. Want to get on top of a problem if I have one.

    most likely it is after they had pooped. It they had worms, their poop would not be looking normal.
