Culled a chicken and found "a" worm...

Is Eprinex good for worming? How does it compare to safeguard?

I'll use Safeguard any day of the week. Eprinex wont kill cecal worms and large roundworms have been showing some resistance to it due to its overuse as a mitacide in chickens, much like ivermectin.Safeguard gets them all except for tapes.

Including gapeworm? (spelling?)

Yes safeguard will get rid of gapeworm, it'll require multiple dosings. You'd be better off using levimisole against gapes. Here a link, Covey Rise Plantation has dealt with gapes many times...take his advice: Posts # 13 & 14.
