    We have reason to believe our beloved Roo has gapeworms. Anyone ever experience and successfully treat? I’m REALLY trying to help him at home before going to the avian vet as it’s terrible hard to get an appt right now with things the way they are. I’m very worried as he’s wheezing and gasping...

In January she was open mouth breathing. We took her to ER, she was treated with antibiotics, antifungals, and dewormer. She got so bad she...

    I think my hens have gapeworm HELP

    Hi! I think my birdies have gapeworm and, being organic I'm not sure what to do. The chickens will constantly shake their heads and don't seem to have other respiratory issues so gapeworm is right where my head went- I attached a video of the chickens below. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

    Respiratory disease or gape worm??

    Hi, this is my first post here. I'm hoping to get some advice. I have 5 chickens; 2 are adults (not sure how old, I got them as adults about 4 months ago) and 3 are 21 weeks (I got them at 12 weeks). About a month ago, I lost a 6th (adult) bird to a red-tail hawk (I have had chickens for...

    5 day old chick behavior

    I just noticed one of my Australorp chicks twitching her head and gaping. No noise came from her mouth. She is eating, drinking and otherwise acting normal except every so often she will do this. I have 8 chicks total and they have had earthworms twice in the past 3 days. Am I overreacting or...
