Worm eggs?

[Hubert Cumberdale]

Just started noticing these eggs during the daily poop scoop of the coop. They seem to be on the poop rather than in them. Are they from intestinal worms?
Thanks in advance

Its kinda hard to tell.But im leaning towards it being worm eggs.Can you send it in for a fecal flotation?It will test for internal parasites such as worms and coccida.Are they experiencing signs of lethargy?You might want to start dosing with Valbazen Goat Wormer.

I think theres a bit of a respiratory infection floating around our flock as they've been coughing a bit. They seem to be eating well though. Although I've noticed our Columbian black looking a tad underweight. Would you recommend valbazen over flubenvet?

That's some kind of insect egg. Worm eggs are microscopic. An insect is laying its eggs after they poop. I personally wouldn't deworm them until you do a fecal float and see if they actually have worms. Respiratory problems would need antibiotics if it's bacterial or time if it's viral.

Not all eggs are microscopic.

As far as I understood, the tapeworm you see in poop are segments of the worm and look like rice. The egg in her pic is an insect egg.

I dont think you can necessarily state that it is a insect egg.It may very well be a worm egg.Its not going to hurt them if she/he worms them.
