I cannot figure this one out. My bantam boy keeps swallowing and head shaking constantly. Something is really bugging him. I don't think it's gapeworms as he has been wormed with Safeguard - 5 days, full dose. My other chicken is not doing this. I switched their feed from crumbles to pellets, tried cleaning all of the diatomaceous earth out of their indoor food/coop. They do have a sand bath, grit, and oyster, plenty of water and food. They are indoors and have pine shavings in their coop.
Could it be the pine shavings irritating him? It's about the only thing I haven't tried to switch out. He has been struggling with this since October. Eating and drinking fine.
Thanks for any input!
