Chickens can suffer health problems caused by an infestation of worms. So it is important to not only worm your birds regularly but manage houses and runs correctly in between worming treatments.
The signs and symptoms of chickens with worms are loss of weight / poor weight gain, increased feed consumption, pale yolk colour, diarrhoea and in severe cases, anaemia (pale comb and wattles) mortality. In the case of gapeworm, chickens will gasp for breath or ‘gape’ stretching their neck.
