Parasite found in hens poop

[rbum]

Sorry meant to say it did not look like a maggot

I just saw another pile I don’t know which one dropped it but that poop had a dead parasite in it

Sounds like large roundworms. Buy a bottle of Valbazen and dose all your chickens. If one bird has worms, other birds have them as well. Valbazen will take care of all types of poultry roundworms.
Follow the dosing instructions for Valbazen in post #7. Here's where you can order Valbazen:

Many people use Valbazen 1/2 ml given orally, and repeated in 10 days to worm chickens. Some also use SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer or horse paste, and dosage is 1/4 ml per pound of weight given orally for 5 consecutive days. With either of the liquids, they must be shaken well with each dose, and a syringe without the needle can be used to give it.

Do we have to discard the eggs and for how long do we discard the eggs.

Can you get pictures of the Parasite, or a picture if the next one of possible?
Pictures are always helpful in the situations.

I didn’t take any But I just got home I will check the poop again

Yes that was a roundworm. With Valbazen or SafeGuard wormers, most people will discard the eggs for 14 days after the last dosage. Others ignore that warning. I have eaten eggs right after using Valbazen with no issues. Valbazen or the generic albendazole, is also used in humans to treat worms.
