I've dealt with most types of worms in chickens...especially tapeworms and they are a pain in the neck to get rid of. You'll see the telltale segments in feces before anything else.
I've never heard of nor seen a large strand of tapeworm make it into the oviduct of a chicken. It's even rare for a roundworm to make its way into the oviduct.

Hi all!
We have chickens and someone recently gave us 5 more. Tonight I cracked an egg with massive worms inside.

I’m not sure which chicken it came from but I plan to deworm all anyways!!


Please help me decipher what type they are?? To me, it looks like more than 1 worm.
Tapeworm & roundworm perhaps??
I looked up safeguard but I don’t think that gets rid of tapeworm??

I an nont seeing a worm of any kind here either.
I agree with @dawg53

You don't need to be.

It is possibly that something else may be wrong with this bird or the stress of the recent move caused a glitch, or it may be diet related.
@HenMom2020 What exactly do you feed your flock?

Is there not one worming medicine that will get rid of ALL worms? I just realized how horribly thin my chickens are and they've never been wormed so I'm pretty certain that's the problem. Which med do I do first? Can 2 meds be given at the same time?

Also... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hijack the thread. I just noticed some very knowledgeable responses and couldn't help but ask. Thank you!

Get Safe-Guard.

Valbazen, safeguard and pyrantel pamoate (nemex ll) are my go to wormers. Equimax for tapeworms only. Dose each bird orally for maximum effectiveness.
