Hi,

I did read the other posts, but they were old and i needed some more specific information.
One of my chicken has started to wheeze. She is also pulling her neck forward looking like she is going to throw up.

I am concerned that it it Gapeworm or Choke.

If I am going to give antibiotics - like Panacur - is it orally or in the food or water. How do you treat the ground?
Is there a natural method that will save my hen -
if Gapewrms are int he ground, will I not be able to have free range organic hens for at least 3 years?

Please help with baby step instructions.

Most likely you're seeing the onset of a respiratory disease or possibly something stuck in her throat or crop. Gapeworms are rare in chickens and panacur is not an antibiotic, it is a wormer. You cant treat the ground.
I recommend that you give your bird an eyedropperful of olive oil orally and gently massage her throat downward to her crop. She will either pass or puke whatever is stuck.
