Hello.

 I have noticed today that one of the chooks ( Wilma) had about 3 worms in a runny poo.  I gave them all flubenvet pellets about a month ago.  I have got Verm X pellets and liquid.  Does anyone know if I can give this to them now, will it be effective or what should I do?  Wilma is now on antibiotics (since yesterday) as she has a swollen toe.  The vet said not to eat the eggs, that is if she lays one but how can you tell.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Vermex may well not work and if you can see worms in Wilma's poo her worm burden must be quite high I should think. You can use Flubevet again (it says so on their website - link on sticky).
But I have been advised by my vet not to worm while giving antibiotics so I think you should ring your vet and ask her advice first for your particular case.
Re the eggs, I think the only sure way to identify her egg is to temporarily isolate her if you can.

Thank you Henamoured.  Will give a call to vet in the morning.

If you go to the Poultry and Pets section (click on it at the top of this page) you will see there Poultry FAQs and other information - click on that and there are a couple of saved threads (stickies) that are about worms and flubenvet in particular.
Or go to here for their brochure:
