POOPING LIQUID AND UNIDENTIFIED WORM

[watermelon]

I saw a puddle of liquid out by the chickens and went over to investigate. When I got close I found this worm inside this massive amount of liquid. What is it, and what do I do next? (It doesn't look like the ringworm I found online, and I've never seen the birds lose that much liquid!)

Do a search for tapeworm, see if it looks like that.

Looks a lot like a trachea.

That is a tapeworm strand, notice the segments. Use valbazen or zimectrin gold to kill the tapes infecting your birds. Valbazen will kill all other types of worms as well.
