@jaybirdsgrandma :welcome

Where are you located in the world? (state/country)
As the others in this thread have said, the worm in your photo is a appears to be a roundworm.

If you are in the US. Tractor Supply or a similar feed store should carry Wazine (Piperazine) and/or Fenbendazole (Safeguard). These will be the easiest to find.
Wazine treats roundworms only, while Fenbendazole is a broader spectrum dewormer.

Dosing information is on the bottle of Wazine. For Fenbendazole, the dosage is .23 ml per pound of weight given orally for 5 days in a row.

For withdrawal periods, do some research to find a timeline that you are comfortable with, most all dewormers are not labeled for use in poultry. Here's some information that you may find helpful.

Where do you get it, can't find either name on line except from Great Britain .
@Wyorp Rock has kindly provided links for alternative products and where you may find them above.:)
My preference is for Flubendazole because it is licensed for use on poultry.
I get Flubendazole from the UK.
