Worms?!

Thank you! I looked on their rear, and I see nothing. I cleaned the coop and sprayed the chickens and the coop with Poultry Protector, and I also put ACV in their water. I hope my babies are alright!

I'm sure they will be fine. Where you have chickens you have poop, where you have poop you will have flies and of course maggots. Keeping the coop cleaned up is the easiest way to avoid or cut down on all of that. A lot of times you won't even see the maggots because chickens love to gobble them up if they catch sight of them. The main thing to watch for, as was already mentioned, is that none of your chickens has a dirty, wet butt and no open wounds. That's where flies love to lay eggs and grow maggots.

Don't forget to de-worm them.

I agree it looks like a maggot
