Worms! Treatment? Total newbie here!

[echo81577]

Hi there, I am a total newbie to backyard chickens. I'm fairly certain this worm is from one of my 8-month-old Marens. Not sure if this is a worm but it sure looks like it and it seemed to be barely moving. I have 11 birds total, four of which are of laying age. What do I do full information desired please!!

I don't think that's a worm @echo81577 .
You found it in an egg?
More likely to be a piece of tissue shed from the reproductive tract.

That doesn’t quite look like a worm to me. I would investigate all of your eggs for a few days. Take lots of photos.

Yes, that was in an egg. Okay! Thank you! Will do!
