Worms?

Does this look like worms?
I have two chickens that I've been trying to get to gain weight after and treatment for respritory infection and they haven't gained any weight. They're chipper and very lively and they're displaying all symptoms of worms. This would explain why they're so thin. Can attach more photos if need be. Just discovered this in their eggs today.

I don't see any worms. The big roundworms will usually show up in their poop first. Finding one in an egg is pretty rare. That does not mean they don't have worms just because you don't see them in the poop.

Interesting okay, good to know. I had found a bigger curly one that I failed to take a photo of before I disposed of it.

A lot of people mistake the chalazae (probably mispelled that) for a worm. If you ever see large roundworm in person, you'll never mistake it for something else.
