What the heck is in this poop?

I'm not sure which one of the kiddos pooped this out. I've seen them have round worms before and they've been treated previously -- I just haven't seen anything like this in a poop before. All the girls are acting fine and all are laying except one that I had to break from being broody on imaginary eggs just last week. This thing wasn't moving at all and the poop seemed pretty fresh. I broke the poop apart to get a better look...it's the yellowish mealworm/maggot-ish type thing there at the bottom of the picture. Lovely free-range chicken poop otherwise, wouldn't you say?

Any thoughts?
 
I think this is gross but I always try to help when I can. It looks like this chicken ate grass and picked up a meal worm. I would go ahead and de-worm your chickens to be safe.
