Hey everyone, one of my hens has been showing some weird signs of something to do with her respiratory, but I’m not sure what it is. After reading an article on the two I think it may be; I’m thinking gapeworm, but I don’t know for sure.
If any of you have delt with gapeworms could you please share what the symptoms were and how I can effectively treat her or my whole flock? I read that this was a good dewormer “Avitrol Plus Bird Wormer Syrup” has anyone else used this?
Here’s what I’ve noticed about her:
Panting with a weird/kind of honking sound and making occasional 3-5 times a day loud sneezes or maybe coughs? She does eat and drink and is still active, I’m just worried about it getting bad if I don’t start treatment soon. I’m also worried about my other hens as I’ve heard similar sounds yet less aggressive from them.
Thank for your help.
