Small White Eggs on Poop

[Molly020403]

Hi everyone! I just saw small white eggs on my chicken's poop (see below). They look external and don't seem to be IN the poop. Anyone know what they are?

I have not seen this before. How fresh was this poop?

Are you sure they're eggs? It almost looks like they could be small beads. Maybe the chicken ate something it shouldn't have?

They kinda look like beetle eggs. But I don’t know for sure.

Did they appear to be moving very slow? If so, they are tapeworm segments and the bird that excreted that feces needs to be treated for tapeworms.

Dung beatles eggs??

Dung beatles eggs??

That’s what I thought too.

Thanks for the responses! They were not moving so I do not think they are tapeworm segments. I also saw later in the day that they appeared to hatch (?) and were small, orange looking pupa.

I have never seen anything like that either. More pictures???
