If one of your chickens has worms,chances are that the rest do as well,i would worm them all.

We've wormed them all. We put stuff in their water. But I was wondering if we were to take them near another persons chicken if it could spread to them.

Depends when they were wormed. I would be cautious taking your chicken around other chickens,this is how diseases spread and can contaminate your entire flock,sometimes with dire consequences.

im not an expert but I would not risk contaminating another persons flock even if you do have a 4h show or whatever, if the chickens arent healthy its probably not a good idea to move the chickens out of there environment and stress them out because you might lose more chickens that way...(i've been checking out your other threads)

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
