The safeguard liquid goat wormer is given orally, use a syringe without a needle to administer. Repeat again in 10 days, 14 day withdrawal after the 2nd dosing.

I use Safeguard dog wormer.  (Fenbendazole)  Each 4 gram pouch treats 40 lbs.  I mix it with cooked oatmeal and give each chicken a spoonful.  Easy enough.

Safeguard equine paste will work, a "pea" size amount on a piece of bread for each chicken. Gather your birds in the pen and close your pen. Block off an area where you can put in one bird at a time and toss in a small piece of treated bread, The bird will gobble it up, then grab her and then release her outside the closed pen into the yard. Piece of cake.
