Yes, that would be okay to do. I have used a spot of blukote or food coloring on a leg, or treated all of one breed or color at the same time to keep them straight, when I had many birds. Since worms are found in droppings, and in some intermediate hosts, such as earthworms, beetles, snails and slugs, it helps to keep their environment dry and on fresh grass or bedding after treating the first ones.
