    Stringy bits in chicken water. Larvae or parasites?

    Never had my chicken water dish look like that. Drained water out to get a closer picture but still says nothing to me. Seeing that my chickens are having health issues i want to make sure these are just some bug larvae or eggs not chicken parasites. Kindest regards

    Is this gapeworm?

    Hi there, Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed a few of my chickens stretching their neck out as though gasping for air.
