Worm poop?

[MamaPoult]

I've noticed that my chickens have been having poops like this on occasion. Internal parasites is an area in very naive in, so I am looking for advice on what might be going on! Thank you very much!
Note* I've used ivermectin in the past for a routine worming but that was last summer.

That could be cecal poop which occurs a few times a day. It is more sticky, more smelly, and comes from the ceca where intestinal contents are fermented. In Alaska with the cooler climate, you may not need to worm as often as someone living in Florida or Texas. Ivermectin may not be the best thing for worming nowadays. Many use Valbazen 1/2 ml orally given on day 1 and again 10 days later. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer 1/4 ml per pound given orally for 5 straight days is also good.

Agreed that looks like cecal.

Ah, I see!! Thank you so so much!

Okay. I'll check for those at the feed store.
