Deworming

Keep using the fenbendazole! Herbal products just don't do what's needed, not worth it at all.
Did you have a fecal test run? Then you will have a better idea what you are aiming for with your worming program.
I agree that the five day plan is best, and repeat in two weeks. Worming each bird by mouth for five days in a row is a pain! At night, small flashlight or head lamp, off their roosts.
Fenbendazole gets some tapeworms, but not most species, but depending on your local environment, tapes may not be a big problem for your birds either.

Did the 5 day treatment and all clear. Everyone good and we are back in business. Thank you so much for all your help!!
 
I'd say skip the liquid meds next time since they're easy to underdose.

I changed to Roostys Dewormer because it's built around capsaicin and oregano, which literally create a gut environment worms can't survive in.

You mix a teaspoon into feed and that's it. I noticed within a couple of weeks their comb color deepened and egg shells got firmer
Herbal wormers are snake oil, there's no science behind it.
