It’s one of the posts in this thread. It’s towards the beginning. I’ll give it to them again in two weeks. It’ll be just enough time so that there’s another week before the chicks hatch. When do broody hens lay again? Is it once the chicks are grown or once the chicks hatch?

That is a very old thread and times have changed. Mixing Safeguard liquid goat wormer in water is ineffective. It doesnt mix well in water at all. Also, you dont know if birds would drink enough of it to be effective. The same is true for wazine.
It's best to use a syringe without a needle and dose the hen and rooster orally with the liquid safeguard, 1cc a day orally for 3 days will take care of worms. That way you know they got properly wormed.

Should I still give it to them orally if the water is almost completely gone?
