New user, looking for gapeworm help

[Imaneggeater]

New user here. We currently have 2 grown Road Island Reds left from a group of 10(darn fox!). We’ve recently purchased 6 more chicks of which there are 5 left. 1 came with a single wing and 1 seems to have gapeworm (seeking treatment recommendations) and 3 healthy. Looking forward to learning more!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Before treating the chick for gapeworm, I would post this issue to the ER forum.
