Hey everyone! I searched a bunch but didn’t find any answers to help determine what I saw in the coop today. None of the worm pics looked like what I saw. Got some girls that are 9 weeks and some that are 7 weeks that are living outside now.

They all seem normal and acting their typical sassy selves but I was cleaning up the coop after some very heavy thunderstorms today and noticed some little rice like worms in some water that also looked like poop had been there.

My thought was tape worm pieces or I’m just an anxious mommy and it’s mosquito larvae.

Any thoughts or suggestions?? Should I deworm just to be sure? What’s your best suggestions?

I’ll try to add a picture later if I find some more.

😩😩😩😩
 
Just for your info, insects are the host for tapeworm infections in poultry. This is what tapeworm segments look like:
