My flock showing signs of gapeworm infestation, heading shaking, neck stretching, opening mouth, etc. I gave them each 1/2cc of Safeguard orally and 3cc per gallon in their water for the past 3 days. I’ve seen dead round worms in their feces so I know Safeguard is working. But at day 5 still shaking their heading, stretching neck, etc. If gapeworm is attached to the trachea area, does it detach when it dies or does the chicken cough it out? Should I assume they are still alive if chicks exhibiting signs of infestation? Really frustrating. Any info would be appreciated
