DE will not kill internal parasites and I wouldn't rely on Ivermectin to do so either.

Don't worry, I'm not at all tempted to use DE. Her suggestion just made me a little suspicious about her chicken expertise. Thus asking others about her suggestion of a 3 week interlude between fenbendazole treatments. She also puts my chickens on steroids the second they are unwell. My vet neighbor says that's a bad idea. I'm just a newbie who reads/researches a bunch and has no idea who's right about a bunch of stuff.

I think I'm going to. A neighbor who runs a huge horse business recommended another vet. The current one also charged me $50 per bird to glance at a hen and my new cockerel - she literally put a stethoscope on them and said they looked good. She was out to do vaccines on 2 dogs and 2 cats, so the $100 total of "comprehensive exams" on 2 chickens seemed excessive. And she still hasn't gotten back to me with the dosage information that she forgot to look up for my doxy/tyl antibiotic while she was here.

New cockerel, introduced to our 10 hens after quarantine, has bubbles in front corner of left eye off and on. No signs of anything while in quarantine, except a slight wheeze after crowing sometimes, which I read could be normal with no other symptoms.

Sounds like MG. Blood work will tell.

I asked her about testing for it - she said she thought she remembered it being super expensive to test for. She recommended going ahead and treating for it (this was when we were discussing what was going on, prior to her looking at anyone). Then she looked the cockerel over and pronounced him healthy, due to the lack of eye bubbles at that moment (and after listening to his breathing with a stethoscope, and I guess because he has absolutely no other symptoms).

Here is Rocket, in all of his glory (1st pic in quarantine at our place being loved on by my son, second pic from previous home):
