    Treating chicks with Flubendazole for gapeworm

    I tried all day yesterday to catch them doing it, but every time I had my camera out they were not doing it… I will try again today! Poop is mostly normal, though sometimes runny? They’re currently in a small run during the day and in small pet enclosure at night. Thanks for your response!

    Treating chicks with Flubendazole for gapeworm

    Hi! So I have five 6 1/2 week old bantam chicks who have been doing that thing where they look like they’re gagging (they open their mouth and kind of stick out their tongue), and they’ve been doing it since they were almost 4 weeks old. At first I thought it was just chick fluff getting in...

    3 Week Old Chicks Gagging

    Serotonin, Thanks so much for the update. I’m so happy for you and your chicks! It does make me feel a lot less worried knowing someone with almost the exact same situation went through this with a positive result. My chicks are still doing it, but not as much as they were even a few days...

    3 Week Old Chicks Gagging

    Hi there! My chicks (4 weeks old) are doing the exact same thing and they’re also indoors on pine bedding with no other chickens. I was also worried about gapeworm but perplexed by how they could have gotten it. They seem happy and healthy in every other way. Since you have written this...
