You can get Safeguard liquid goat wormer here.
The dose is 0.23 ml per pound of body weight given once daily for 3-5 consecutive days.
I teach the birds to eat small pieces of bread. Once they realize that is a treat, I squirt the dose into pieces of bread and feed that to each bird SEPARATELY FROM THE FLOCK then return the treated bird to the flock and get the next one. Otherwise, you risk birds stealing the treated bread and getting double dosed. In your case, Optimus will try to give his bread to Henrietta. So treat them separately.
The withdrawal period for eggs is 2 weeks after the last dose. Lots people will still eat them but I wouldn't sell them or give them away.

He most definitely does try to get Henrietta to come eat them! That is such a sweet action, I take her and hold her outside of the coop for awhile until he finally gives in and eats it. But it’s hard for him, lol he looks for her, calls for her to come get it. Even once he’s seems done trying to get her to get over there and eat it, he still makes the call sounds while eating the bits slowly. 😊
