I came home from a camping trip this weekend to find weird insect eggs all over the bird netting that covers my run. They are tiny and round in clusters, some clusters are white while others are brown. We think we saw some that had hatched and they kind of look like teeny tiny worms that are hanging from little silk like strings. I checked my girls all over and don't see anything on them... Any ideas about what these are and if they're harmful to the birds? I think I'm going to replace the netting to be safe and give the girls and the run a good dust down with DE but I'd really like to know what they are. I tried to take some pictures but unfortunately I couldn't get the camera to focus enough to see them.
 
Nice! Now that I had an idea of what to look up I think you guys are right, they look like moth eggs of some kind. How excited will the girls be when they turn into caterpillars!!! There are SO many eggs, they will be stuffed
