What specific worms are you treating for and are they listed on the bottle?

Fenbendazole is the ingredient in Safeguard brand dewormer which many of us use, though many of us buy the one made for goats or horses because that's what's readily available. Since this is specifically marked for poultry I'd go with whatever the instructions on the bottle are.

I've ALSO been trying to find out the easiest way to administer these capsules! The Label says by mouth or spread over a piece of bread or treat. They're premeasured capsules, one for each bird 4-7lbs to treat a variety of worms just like the safeguard goat paste, but I can't handle some of my birds so Im not looking forward to attempting this. There was a video I saw on you tube dated 2016 where a vet shows how to put it in the chickens mouth but again I have a hard time catching some of my hens. I might try doing it in the coop when they just settle in at dusk like Ive done with pour on ivermectin.

Yes, that's the easiest way to dose birds. Just nab them off the roost at night - no need to chase them down.
