Worms in poop?

[PViolet]

I just went to feed my hens and I noticed wiggly white things in poop... I suppose those are worms? They are 9 months old and I didn't deworm them. What should I do? Are eggs safe to eat? Are these a threat to human? Ughh... any advice would be appreciated!

Those look like maggots. maggots are nothing to worry about.

I'm new to all this so still learning... I have never hit the 'worms chapter' lol... Are you sure? The first photo was taken just when 1 hen pooped while I was there, I had to check her poop too and it had those in it as you can see...

I am not positive, but they look like maggots. you can worm them if you need to. I use apple cider vinegar( in water) , or garlic powder (in the food)

Looks like tapeworm segments to me.

What should I treat them with? Also, do they come back after a treatment or gone for good?

It is difficult to get rid of tapeworms and it needs persistence and a good dewormer.

If possible, switching between different runs can help to avoid immediate reinfestation.

I see... what about the eggs? Safe to eat? And thank you

Eggs are safe to eat, but during deworming period and for some time afterwards, depending on the dewormer you use, there will be a period of egg withdrawal.

So, where are you located in this world?
Some very good dewormers as for instance Flubenol 5% might not be available in your country.
