What is this? Some sort of worm, parasite??

I was changing my water, and found this under them. What is this? Do I need to move the coop or deworm my chicks?

Fly maggots they love wet areas.

Is it safe for my chicks?

If your chicks have open wounds/poop stuck on feathers, it's not ideal. Otherwise, it's a lovely snack!

Maggots. As long as all are healthy it should make a delicious treat!
