They are too far down the trachea like you stated. I used to think that as well. Only a fecal sample taken to a vet can detect gapeworm eggs.

You wont see worms down a chickens throat. Capillary worms can infect the crop/ lower esophagus. Gapeworms in chickens are rare, but are located in the trachea. Worms wont be seen in feces unless one dies of old age and is excreted. The only other time you'll see them is if there is an overload...
