Are these worms? My chicken Glados has been showing symptoms of gapeworm (gaping, sneezing. No heavy breaths or anything. Other then that shes perfectly healthy) so we put her on some VetRX. Our other chickens started showing symptoms as well. Are these dead worms being expunged? We swabbed her throat a couple days ago and didn’t see anything

Looks like normal poop to me. The only worms you'd be able to see are roundworms (sometimes expelled if there is a heavy load but not always) and tapeworm segments.

Where are you located? Gapeworm is pretty uncommon, but if that is the problem you;ll need to deworm with Safeguard or Valbazen. VetRX won't cure anything. It seems more likely that your flock has a respiratory infection. If you can post pictures of your chicken's face and a video (via a link to youtube) of the gaping and sneezing we might be able to get a better idea of what's going on.
 
Thank you all, yeah I was worried the little white things were worms. She’s stopped gaping and such, and I’ll try to find a photo of her behavior later when I get home. I live in Central Florida, and its been quite cold recently.
