I think I pretty much figured out his mouth opening he has going on. Each time I rubbed his feet and legs he would pull his head all the way back and open his mouth. His poor legs had a lot of heat in them. Must be a pain thing for him when he opens his mouth like that. Poor rooster

That ivermectin seemed like i put very little on him but I followed your instructions. I think it was like 3 little drops mid neck and down the spine. I had to dig through several layers of feathers. I think 1 drop got on his inner feather. We tried to get his skin as much as possible

@Eggcessive do you think it could also be gapeworm in his throat?

Gapeworm is pretty rare. Usually a chicken cannot eat or drink with gapeworms, because they can barely get their breath. But SafeGuard 5 days in a row treats gapeworms.

@Eggcessive this is what he does when he eats. He moves his head like he is having difficulty swallowing and opens his beak real wide with head tilted back as the video shows. Should I make a new post about this what he has going on? Thank you!
