I only have a small flock 9 hens 1 rooster,noticd what appeared to be a worm in poop this morning,I have never treated them for this so not sure what to do,I've read ivomectin safegard etc,what would be the best and safest treatment to use with the least amount of egg withdrawal.I was going to try flubenvet but it takes to long to get here from uk any suggestions would be appreciated as I am new to treating chickens.
 
Consider purchasing valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer. If your feed store doesnt carry it, Jefferslivestock.com has it, or you can call them.
Valbazen kills all known worms that chickens can get. It is administered orally undiluted, you can use a syringe without a needle; dosage is 1/2cc for standard size, 1/4cc for smaller birds. Reworm them again in 10 days to kill larva hatched from eggs. There's a 24 day withdrawal period from start to finish.
The wormers you mentioned have the same withdrawal period except for flubenvet which doesnt have a withdrawal period.
