Worms in Coop

[StoneyAcreFarm]

We raise bobwhites. We've had several rainy days. My daughter came in from collecting eggs and said they were covered in tiny worms. She showed me that the floor is covered in these tiny, almost microscopic worms. They could have been there forever and I've never noticed them. Are they a threat? Or just little guys escaping the rain?

Those look parasitic to me, but I'm not an expert.

@007Sean knows a lot more than I do about things that can go wrong.

They are either baby earthworms or nematodes? The photo isn't that great for determining what they are, for sure.

Darn. I thought I attached a video, but it wouldn't work. Thank you for your help.

Upload it to YouTube or a similar site and link back.

After looking at the video....idk....almost look like some kind of a fly maggot? I imagine they will dissappear when it dries up.
