One of my chickens poop had worms or worm eggs in it. What is the best way to go about deworming? Is Albendazole a good option? I have 6 chickens. They are about 5 months old. Thanks!

Welcome To BYC

Looks like Tapeworm Proglottids in the photo, a photo that has been around for years on the internet, in various posts and on blogs.

Do you have a photo of what you are seeing in the poop your Pullets are expelling?

Generally, you want to only treat the bird that has the Proglottids in their poop, hopefully you know which one it is.

Tapeworms can be treated with Praziquantel. You can find the product and dosing in this thread.
