I worm my chickens, dogs and cats with food grade diatomaceous earth. It's also called fossil shell flour. There are those who say it doesn't work, but it works for me. It's safe, and you can still eat your eggs. It isn't toxic, so there's no withdrawal period for anything. You can put it in an oyster shell feeder and let them have it free choice.
Or, you can get a bottle of Ivermection injection, 1%, here's a link to directions. http://www.sweeth2o.us/health.html
Tractor Supply carries this, and I'd think most feed dealers/farm supply stores would, too. I've used it before for poultry, and it works great, I never saw any ill effects.
This would cover both internal and external parasites at once. Ivermectin hasn't been tested in poultry, officially anyway, so bear that in mind if you decide to use it. It's recommended in Gail Damerow's Chicken health Book. What ever you do, I'd repeat it in 10-14 days.
There are threads on this forum about using the pour-on type, you can do a forum search for "ivermectin" and probably find them.
