Urgent: 1 y/o BO wheezing, difficulty breathing, constant “murmuring”

Looks and sounds like gapeworm (identical sound and symptoms to earlier post here). No vets to see chickens anywhere near me. I BoughtSafe-Guard (fenbendazole) pellets at Tractor Supply but don’t know how much to give her? Should I smash up 2-3 tiny pellets and mix it with yogurt to be sure she gets some? Package says mix 1 pound with 300 (!!!) pounds of regular food for “growing turkeys”. Also bought “Natural Poultry Pellets” (Strike III) but it has no active drug for parasite...but safer? Worried about other chickens getting this and also trying to save this beautiful hen.

Can you please take a video of your hen to show the wheezing, upload the video to YouTube or Vimeo then post a link here?
Gapeworm is actually not that common in chickens. She may have a respiratory infection which would be treated with something like Tylosin, not an anthelmintic.
