Small yellow worms/maggots in stool?? *PIC* HELP!

[chickachickayea]

@StellaBeann Also as a sidenote, about deworming... Treating with smeared paste on treats was not enjoyable and time consuming or downright ineffective considering the suspicious stink eyes I'd get from my little flock of 3 (now 8). With our recent roundworm deworming treatment, we decided to dose at night after everyone was on the roost. I had a headlamp on, my fiancée picked up/held each one, I put my finger sideways into their beak and used a needleless syringe to administer paste right at the front of their beaks. Took us about 10 minutes each time. Get your supplies ready beforehand and you're set!

Hi.
Have you guys found a treatment that worked or an answer as to what those worms are??
Some of my chickens have them too! I treated them with Avitrol plus twice and they always come back after about 2 weeks!

Hi @Louisetho2 Welcome To BYC
Can you post some photos of the poop and worms?

I’ve attached a photo. I think it’s mainly my Isa brown who poops worms. Otherwise she’s acting totally normal.
I am not sure if she’s having a resistance to working tablets but it goes away for about 2 weeks after treatment and then I find those again in her poo!

Those look like tapeworm segments to me.

Tapeworms segments are white though ... Avitrol plus should treats tapeworm but even after treating it always comes back

Some species are yellow I think.

 

[casportpony]

The Avitrol Plus you have, is it this one?

 

[casportpony]

The tapeworm dose is 10-20 mg praziquantel per kilogram, so an average 5 pound hen would need ~23 mg. Those pils contain only 4 mg praziquantel, so a five pound hen would get 6 pills (24 mg), then you repeat that in 10-14 days.
