Worms in the scat

[skipatc]

Looking to diagnose these thin white worms in my blue orpington's droppings. Any ideas on what this could be and/or suggestions on how to treat it?

@KikisGirls Okay, so these are roundworms? Guess what, I found worms exactly like this today! Also, before I could scoop them up, one of my hens started eating them!! Help!

*shudder* I about barfed and starting kicking dirt over them to give me time to grab the pooper scooper. She kept looking at me like, "what? They're worms." EW ew ew Sending hubby for Wazine NOW.

I would have puked too! LOL

I'm glad you are going to get them treated today.
Remember you gotta not eat eggs for a while too.

yuk!

Does the 14 day withdrawal from eggs apply to both the initial treatment and the subsequent follow-up treatment done 10-12 days later?

I threw up in my mouth a little when I read this(not literally). Then I started laughing out loud. Its funny in a disgusting kind of way.

It's real..it happens.
No one ever wants to believe that their chickens can have worms...til they see them, which in my opinion is kinda late in the game.
I would think that a chicken would have to be FULL of worms in order to poop them out....JUST my opinion.

I'm glad she found them now before they killed her chickens, or worse she cracked open an egg that had worms in it!

This is the only kind of worm you'll see in chicken poop,
all others are microscopic, not visible to the naked eye.
Wazine will only kill round worms(maybe one other?).
The withdrawal period starts the day after the last treatment.

Any other worms need a fecal float by a lab that can report species and counts of any other worms present and if ans what kind of treatment will kill them.

@MrsAuberry00 ...sorry for your trouble, but....Great Video...glad dinner is some hours away.
