Roundworm?

[Zud]

Does this look like roundworm?

We're treating the flock anyway because we have an anemic looking hen, but I finally found evidence of worms after looking through many poops, and I'm just wondering if that is in fact what we're dealing with.

That's just a bit of intestinal lining shed.

This is a roundworm:

Oof that ain't good. You think coccidiosis maybe? That's not treatable with a wormer, is it?

No, not Coccidiosis. Just normal shedding.

So this particular chicken is showing signs of anemia. Shrunken and pale comb. Anorexia (is eating but once had the proudest full crop at night has about a golf ball size now after several hours free ranging. The others are finding many worms in the soil I'm working. She's.... Not)

Thoughts?

Has she been passing stool like this regularly? You could treat for worms and Coccidiosis. Neither will hurt her. Earthworms can pass tapes to chickens.

This was tonight's stool. I assumed I'd should treat worms but now obviously am concerned about Coccidiosis. None of the other flock seems to be affected, at least in comparison to the anemic conditions we're seeing in the one hen. Mind you, outside of pale comb and anorexia, she's behaving fairly normally. She is slightly withdrawn from the flock, preffering her own space in the yard which isn't typical to her, not uncomfortable among them in any way, though.

I'd treat for worms. Intestinal shedding is normal every now and again and I wouldn't worry about coccidiosis unless you see more bloody poop. Also check the roost bars at night for mites and look her over in the day for signs of external parasites.

Def no external mites. We've looked extensively, much to the displeasure of our flock. Thanks for the tips. I'm checking with the hatchery about vaccinations so we can hopefully rule out coccidiosis.

Photos of hen?
How old is she?
Is she molting?
If not molting, when was her last egg?
