tiny white worms

[Eggcessive]

I have these 1/16" white worms on a day old chicks fur. Are these the same? How do I treat a baby chick?

Please post any pictures. Was there a broken egg or poop in the nest box? That could be maggots, so be sure to clean them off the chick right away. Check eyes and vent.

Do you have photos? You'll have to remove them. They stick on tight

Maggots?
Can you get a clear photo or two?

I'll try to get a couple. I went out again after moving the Hen and Chick to a different clean nesting box and couldn't find them on the Chick..the first day and this morning I discovered them.

The hen may have gotten them off. If they are maggots or fly eggs that points to a bigger issue. Are all their butts (including the hen) clean? Is their bedding clean? What is their set up like?

Here is a picture of the chick. It was born on October 12, 2020. Now the white that you see around it's eyes are hardened. Very difficult to remove. This chick is already out free ranging with it's mother. I haven't found any crawling tiny worms on him that I could find.

That looks like lice eggs to me. It's hard to tell though
