Are these seeds or parasite eggs?
my three chickens seem healthy. I saw some in her poop so I broke it open to investigate.

my three girls are Orpington‘s. I did have A hybrid drop dead five days ago. I’ve need extra observant of my other 3 now.
Thanks

* update.... must be seeds. When I walked through the wet grass all these seeds were stuck to my sandals

You can't see internal parasite eggs with the naked eye. That appears to be something they eat. I don't know what it was but it looks like it had a gourmet meal of it.
 
Those look like seeds to me also. With tape worm segments (which are actually segments of the worm, not eggs per-say) when fresh you will sometimes see some movement.
 
Seeds for sure. Tapeworms break segments off that contain eggs and will move until dried up, they resemble white rice. Other types of eggs need a microscope to see.
