Yes, that's what I use.
Give her 1 tablet once daily for a week.

I pull down on the hen's wattles and pop the tablet right into the beak, turn loose of the wattles and let her swallow. The tablet is large, but a grown hen can swallow that easy.

IF you wish, you can cut the tablet in 1/2 and give as above until you are more comfortable in giving the meds. There is a trial/error in finding the best way to handle your birds.

Me, I like to stand them on a table so they have their feet under them, then I tuck them into my body with an elbow which captures the wings and I have the elbow hand "freeish" to help maneuver the head or whatever I'm doing. If that all makes sense. Some sit the hen on their lap or even have a helper, you'll find what's comfy for you and your hens.
