Does my hen have sour crop?

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm - Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
--OR--
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Is there a specific safeguard? I am assuming the multi-species is best for chickens? Does it matter if it is medicated? Thanks for all the help.
Would this work?

The Safeguard Equine Paste is fine. Dosing is the same a posted.

Not sure what you mean does it matter if it's medicated? Safeguard is Fenbendazole which is a "medication" or anthelmintic to treat worms.
Ah that makes sense. Was a little confused because some of the were my medication was marked as medicated and others weren't and was a little worried that there was extra medication that could be potentially harmful. Would you recommend a withdrawal. For eggs, after starting the wormer? I see that there's some debate on whether or not it's necessary. If you would recommend it. How long would you withdraw eggs for?

Some observe a withdrawal period of 14days after the last dose.

Thank you so much for all your help. Yesterday I was able to start deworming her and today her crop has been significantly less bloated and filled with liquid. I have noticed a decrease in energy, but since she is still eating and drinking, I am going to assume this is most likely due to being separated from the flock and not something to be super worried about. She finished up the seven-day Monistat treatment this evening, and though I am considering continuing the treatment for a little, I think I just give the de-wormer and she how her crop responds without treatment. With any luck she will be back with the rest of the flock by Friday.
