This is nowIt is NOT tapeworm segments, nor is it a tapeworm. It is not flat and segmented. Tapeworms require a host such as an insect and the infected insect must be eaten by the chicken in order to be tapeworm infected.
I suspect it is shed intestinal lining which comes in different shapes and sizes. If it's constant, I recommend getting the chicks started on Corid 9.6% liquid solution for 5 days.
A good example is a cat eating a tapeworm infected flea, the cat will get tapeworms. Droncit takes care of cat tapeworms.
Here's a pic of tapeworm segments in chicken feces:
