"Small white worms." Please post a photo of them if possible. Stop the ACV and garlic, they wont do anything.

I’ll try and get a pic today. They were very small.. thin whitish worms like thread thin. Seemed to be two of them. I never would have seen them if I didn’t look at her poo right after she went.

After reading everyone’s great advice here and doing some research… if I had to bet I think they are either thread worms or cecal worms. They were SO tiny and thin. It was in a cecal poo too that I saw them. I guess I’ll treat my whole flock with Safeguard to be safe! Any other suggestions? Thank you!

Here's a pic with cecal worms compared to a penny.

The Safeguard paste or Safeguard liquid goat wormer will take care of them. Dose each bird orally 5 days in a row, then you're done.
