Tried to zoom inbut it just got fuzzy. Possibly tape worm segments. Are they moving?

I don't think so. Don't quote me on it because I could be wrong. Hopefully an expert shows up!

I would have to agree with @staceyj looks like tapeworm segments from what I can see - a close up photo would be great

You can treat with either Valbazen or Fenbendazole - both are found at feed stores like Tractor Supply. Valbazen dosage is 1/2 ml orally and then repeated in 10 days for each chicken and Fenbendazole (Safeguard, Panacur) dosage is 1/4 ml per pound of weight, dose each chicken separately for 5 days in a row.

Which one is most effective? Egg withdrawal?
