Hello there everyone, I have recently bought my little boy 4 new chickens. They are all doing well except one. It is wheezing and sneezing, came like this about 5 days ago (they were all bought then). I had straw in the run and coop so I removed this for dust reasons. She is still no better, although lively in herself, eating and drinking she still sneezes and is wheezing. I have been reading all night and I am sure it's gapeworm. I have purchased some flubenvet
And will treat them with this.
Any suggestions to what could be wrong?
If I am right do you think I will cure and save her and the others?

Also I have them all on layer pellets and have some oyster shell on there is there any other vitamins nutrients i need to supply or is it enough within there feed?
Any tips advice is always great fully listened to.
Many thanks meg, the happy new chicken owner

Welcome to BYC. Good luck with your chickens. I'm not sure about the UK, but 'gapeworm' is generally not all that common a parasite.
