In all my time with guineas, chickens and turkeys and the odd rescue here and there, never have I ever laid eyes on this beaut. The first picture is what my house chicken pooed yesterday the second is my other house chicken Onzo's gift. Both, to me, appear to be round worms. Having made that call, I immediately started the fenbendazole. Checked dosage.3 lb bird. As usual I ran into several differing opinions as to how many days to administer, but Eggcessive says administer for 5 days then by God we're administering for 5 days, no questions about it 😆

Hopefully the others will chime in, but to me I don't see any Roundworms.
It does look like thin stranded poop though, so I'd make sure the birds are hydrated and have access to Poultry Grit (Crushed Granite).
Check crops to make sure they are emptying overnight.

Fenbendazole - Safeguard Liquid Goat Dewormer (10%) dosing is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row if you wish to deworm them.
