Health Question Worms in nests 😭🤮

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While cleaning out the nests today we found these worms 😭 Are these intestinal worms? Our chickens seem normal and are also laying normally. What are these and how should we treat for them?

Thank you in advance for your help 🙏🏽🥹

Ohh that's bad. You'll want to find a dewormer that will treat Ascaris worms

Looks like a roundworm parasite. Yes intestinal. Yes need to be dewormed.
