What to do...

Unfortunately this does not always mean they know what they are talking about.

Wazine will kill the adult roundworms only....it doesn't kill the eggs that hatch and grow into new adult roundworms which continues to repeat.

Can you possible collect some fresh poop from your remaining chickens and run it to the nearest vet's office tomorrow morning for a fecal test?
Almost all dog vets will perform this test and it's very cheap.

The last poop she had I cleaned off the porch after putting them in the coop last night . I am watching my other hen closely.

Wazine is only for Adult roundworms, next time try Safeguard it's a more broad spectrum wormer.

I will look for safeguard. That sounds like meds for dog/cat

You usually will not see worms in the poop.
A fecal exam is the best thing to do if you don't want to blindly dose them with different meds.

My feed store sells in in a paste for horses and a liquid for goats.

First off, any bird(s) you get, should be quarantined for 30 days. You don't want to bring in any illness, or parasites, even if the new birds look fine. By then, your one bird will probably have adjusted to being alone most of the time. It will probably bond to you more too.

I'm so sorry to hear that your family lost one of their feathered friends.

If you only had two birds and now just one, then you are risking very little by bringing in one or two new birds without quarantining (different if you had a whole flock to risk), especially if your existing girl is stressed at being alone. Of course there are risks and you have to weigh them up and offset them against her loneliness, but it really is not an ideal situation to keep a chicken on her own, so getting her a friend or two as soon as possible would be my plan. Unfortunately RIRs can be a bit on the bossy side, so introductions may have to be done carefully.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Was the hen you lost also an RIR? They tend to be aggressive with other breeds. I do agree with Barbara, that since you only have one hen, I'd take a chance of bringing in a new hen for companionship.
