i noticed today that our 1 year old splash cochin has some little white worms in her poop, they are very small and its the first time ive ever seen it happen
. she is an indoor chicken (cause of unavoidable circumstances) and so im around her pretty much 24/7. she has been broody the past few weeks but shes recently gotten over it. other than that her health seems fine, shes still trying to get back into her normal routine at the moment after the broodiness, so she isnt laying eggs yet but normally her eggs are consistent and healthy. based on the worm itself and after some research, i believe its the cecal worm, and i know its definitely not the most serious thing, but shes like my baby so i want to ensure i take the best course of action. i read online that safeguard liquid dewormer for chickens is good for a various types of worms, including cecal. so im wondering if i should just go ahead with that treatment plan, or if its better to send her poop in to the vet for a fecal flotation test to see exactly what worm it is and how serious it may be. part of me wants to just treat her as soon as possible, cause in the mean time im hesitant to let her back outside until we get all of this sorted. and in the case that we decide on the test, im worried about her getting worse in the potential days while the test is waiting to come back. overall im just a really concerned mother trying not to freak out, and i want to make sure i do what is best. thank you

i was thinking the same, but is there a chance things can get worse after using it? ive never had to deal with worms before so maybe im just overreacting but im really worried that somehow i could mess it up
