Where to buy Fenbendazol to treat 35 chickens?

I was looking up the dose online and a reputable website telling us the dosage said "pea-size" meaning the size of a green pea which would be the size that you are talking about. Pea size actually makes sense.

Did you read this?

I'm curious as to which reputable website you are speaking of. Can you link it here please?

I think, since most grown chickens fall within a close weight range, they say pea size to include all. Even reputable websites say Pea size. Chickens are not exactly like a dog. Dogs can be 5 lbs grown and 125 lbs grown. Chickens are very close in size to each other. But, you do your chickens your way and there's no judgement here. As for me, I am going to very clearly state PEA SIZE because this is what reputable breeders state.

Not all chickens are close in size. A bantam game hen is substantially smaller than a Jersey Giant Roo. An EE hen is going to be lighter than a Brahma hen or roo, some orpingtons can be pretty heavy, Etc.
I'm not going to argue, respectfully, you do what you want in your flock, but it will never be wrong when dosing is done by weight, there will be no question that the dose is correct. I have all standard sized birds, and they vary in weight a lot from bird to bird, they do not all get the exact same dose. I would not dose an antibiotic by anything but weight, and I wouldn't do a wormer, or any other medication, any other way either, and that is what I would always recommend to anyone else. If you took a bird to a vet, they would weigh the bird and dose accordingly. Same with dogs, cats, any other animal. I dose my donkey and cows by weight. They come in different sizes too. Plumbs veterinary drug handbook, most medications are dosed by weight, most are done mg/kg.
