Weird substance in chicken poop!

[LRMort]

I just saw this in one of my chicken’s poop and have no idea what it is!?! It looks like a mass of thin talons with a soft center. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Those are roundworms. Very common in chickens. You can treat with Wazine, which will take care of roundworms only, or Safeguard liquid goat wormer or Valbazen, which are more broad spectrum. I would treat the entire flock.

Thank you so much! I had no idea that could be from a worm. I will definitely be treating my entire flock!

Here is a good resource for roundworms as well including prevention steps as well as treatment.
