Worms?

[DanaSue11]

Sorry for the gross picture but I just found this poop. Might that be a worm? If so, what should I treat with? I do have one hen that's been laying soft eggs and I already treated for coccidia.

That's not a worm

What do you think it is?

It's normal poop. I know it looks weird, but that's often how it looks in the spring and summer when the chicken is drinking more water

 

[DanaSue11]

And you saw the long string like thing on the bottom right? That's also normal?

Yep
A sign of worms is a hen laying eggs that have poop on them.
