andynjanec Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I have a couple of hens and chicks that are yawning and stretching their necks.Is it a problem or do I bore them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi there, I'm not an expert at all but one of my hens was gaping/yawning and from what I've read on the forums I thought it must be gapeworm and I wormed them all with Flubenvet and the problem was solved.

Egluntyne Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 They could be just rearranging the contents of their crops. Generally with gapeworm, they are also coughing and spluttering and obviously unwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Keep an eye on them but it could just be the hot muggy weather; like us, they do it when they need more oxygen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
