If you already wormed them with the correct dosage, it wouldn't hurt them. If you asking if you should use it on them, I personally wouldn't worm a sick chicken unless you know it has worms. It is hard on them.

Check thier crop and see if it is impacetd. Spitting up can be a sign of that. There is a bunch of info on BYC regarding an impacted crop.

Good luck.

What kind of dewormer did you use? (ivermectin, pyrantil, ect.)

I am sorry you lost one. There are so many kinds of goat wormer but the bag should say what it is. Ivermectin and safeguard are used quite a bit on chickens. How much do you think they ate? Sorry, I have no idea if there is an "antidote" .
