GAPEWORM! Need Help!

[Speckled Eggs]

My rooster has gapeworm and I also think one of my hens has it. I need to know something that I could get probably at a tractor supply that I can give them and also something that I can give all my chickens to provent them from getting it. Also i need to know how much to give them and for how long. Please Help!!!

Gapeworm is unusual in chickens. It is diagnosed by swabbing the throat with a Qtip; if they are present, you will see them on the Qtip; they are reddish and very skinny. Below is a link on gapeworm. Dawg53 knows worms and he says Covey Rose Plantation knows gapeworm.
