Is her throat clear? Or does she have gapeworm?

 

[chicken_lover_20]

yes her throught is clear i checked in here mouth yesterday whith a light from my phone

 

[chicken_lover_20]

but i am not sure what a gapeworm is..

 

[Gallinarium]

Gapeworm is a parasite that lives in the throat. They're small, but when there's too many of them, the hen can suffocate or choke to death. Symptoms are gagging, choking, coughing, wheezing, and stretching the neck. You can check by sticking a q-tip in her throat, (be careful not to choke her.) It's a lot harder than it sounds, as the chicken is NEVER cooperative. If she has them, they'll show up as red lines against the white. It's something to cross off the possibility list, anyway.

The only good way is store-bought wormers. The first thing is to check.
