Gapeworms are common in young, domesticated chickens and turkeys.
They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation (fibromelanosis), making the chicken mostly black, including feathers, beak, and internal organs.

Indeed, the heritability of adult female worm size, which is closely related to fecundity, has been estimated at 0.6 [5] whereas the heritability of worm number was only 0.14. [5] The high heritability of worm size is one of the highest heritabilities known for a fitness related trait.
