Advice on Worming please!!

[Cluck22]

Hey guys!

I have just finished a week treating my 4 ex battery hens with Flubendazole medicated pellets as per the medications instructions. I have been seeing worms coming out in the chickens poop but the worms are still alive and moving. Yesterday was the last treatment day and today there have still been live worms in the faeces.
We have been giving them apple cider vinegar and using ground sanitizing powder but one of the girls is off lay and appears drowsy and pale.

I'm aware this could be due to several other problems but I am worried we aren't on top of the worm situation.

Is there anything else I can do to help get rid of their worms or do I have to wait another 3-4 months to rework as per the Flubendazole instructions?

Thank you

Since the pellets didn't work, I would go with giving each chicken a dose of liquid wormer. Much easier and you know they are getting it, although you need to make sure it does not go down the trachea, but it's not hard just need a longer 1ml syringe and someone to shine a flashlight in there.
Valbazen is the easiest but more expensive.
