Post pictures and maybe someone will recognize them. Welcome to BYC by the way.

Can you post some pics? To prevent this in the future, i hear feeding chickens pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds are a natural de-wormer

Welcome to The BYC flock! We are glad you joined us.

Have you seen worms in poo or being puked up?

 

[TheFarmer99]

I have about 50 birds in that coop... it's hard to tell who's poop is who's...

but have you seen any at all?
Are there worms in eggs?
foamy poo/diarrhea?
poopy vent feathers?
gasping?
head stretching?
shaking?
reduced egg production?
these can lead to sudden death.

Why do you suspect worms? Need a pic of what you see.. nice chickens though.

Hi Devon, nice to have you here! If you find worms even in just 1 bird, you best deworm all of them.

I have not seen any of that.. yet again I sell most of my eggs so could not tell you about worms in eggs but I haven't gotten any complaints.. egg production is right where it should be. She seems a be perfectly fine though. Normal behavior, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm guessing worms because I Googled what I saw and as usual I went to BYC and read it could be worms and then I made the account to figure it out.
