What is this and how do I get rid of it???? (Worms??)

[Sobek]

Found it in a dropping picked it up with a fork and it was like moving for a half sec. I captured it. I'm very poor right now so.. I have zyfend A right now. I think it was from the little pullet maybe a few months old big like my RIR hen in height but still looks like a baby idk what age

That's ascarus.... roundworm.

Do you know of anything I can give or get them that will go 100 percent full throttle against round worms??? I've noticed something wrong with my chickens but I couldn't figure it out and I've been keeping a very very close eye on them. I know my girls very well and I just figured out what it was when I saw the worm

2x Round worm You don't have your location in your profile, so check with your feed store to see what they have/recommend. The below is my notes which I've collected from threads here. You can also do a forum search (roundworms) for more information.
ZyfendA is more a preventative from what I've read ...

Worms -

• Roundworms - Wazine, Safeguard, Valbazen, Pyrantel Pamoate
• Cecal worms - Safeguard, Valbazen
• Gapeworms - need 3-5 days with Valbazen or Safeguard. Dose depends on which one you use.
• Capillary worms - Hard to treat. Large Safeguard dose for five days is needed. (Safeguard, Valbazen)
• Tapeworms - Praziquantel; fast 24hrs, pea size on bread, repeat 10days, yogurt 2 days after treatment, egg withdrawal

Wazine (piperazine). In Canada piperazine has a zero day egg withdrawal, but it's not labeled for use in laying hens here in the US, so most people wait two weeks past the last treatment. Treat once, repeat in 10-14 days. Can be given orally or in drinking water.

Valbazen (albendazole) - will treat all worms except tapes. Dose is 0.8 ml per pound of body weight orally. Repeat in 10-14 days. Gapeworms require treatment for 3-5 consecutive days. Most people wait two weeks before eating eggs.

Safeguard or Panacur (10% fenbendazole liquid or paste) - Will treat all worms except tapes, but must be given 5 days in a row for gapeworms and capillary worms. Dose is 0.23 ml per pound of body weight five days in a row. Most people wait two weeks before eating eggs. If you decide to get Safeguard, get the liquid because it's much cheaper. One bottle of liquid = 125 ml, five tubes of paste = 125 ml.

WormOut Gel (oxfendazole and praziquantel) - Treats all worms including tapes and it can be given in water. Dose is 47 ml per gallon for two days. Repeat in 10-14 days. Egg withdrawal is probably no less than two weeks.

Well I may use the zyfend right now just to help aid my chickens even if it doesn't kill many or any of the worms as long as I can help boost their internal immune systems until I can get something more in their system. I read it was all natural or mostly so I don't think I'll have a problem giving them that and a real deworming medicine

Good info you provided. Here are a few additions:
Levamisole treats large roundworms, cecal worms, capillary worms, gapeworms.
Valbazen does treat tapeworms, at higher doses.
Pyrantel Pamoate treats large roundworms, cecal worms and capillary worms.
Capillary worms arnt hard to treat. They are so numerous that they require a couple extra days treatment to get rid of them.

Worms weaken the immune system. When the immune system is weakened, it opens the door for diseases to attack their system. Worms slowly starve a chicken to death.
Worms excretion is toxic to chickens. One female large roundworm lays thousands of eggs in one day, contaminating your soil and your other birds will get infected as well.
DE, ZyfendA, VermX wont prevent nor treat worms.
A bottle of Wazine doesnt cost much. Mix one ounce of Wazine into one gallon of water and set it out first thing in the morning before letting your chickens out of the coop. They will be thirsty after being cooped up all night and will readily drink the treated water.
The treated water must be their sole source of water to drink during the whole day.
After they go to roost for the night, discard the treated water and provide regular fresh water for them to drink. You're done, it's that easy.
Then repeat this procedure in 30 days.

How long will it take to get in their system? And start working
