I've always put Flubenvet in their mash. They don't come out to freerange till lunchtime and I know how much they eat each morning so dose accordingly.
Bit hit and miss but I reckon the ones who eat less tend to be smaller so need less of a dose.
Worked for 2 years......at least we don't seem to have wrigglies!

mine wouldn't touch one make of pellets, they condescend to eat another make (farmgate?) if I withold wheat. to feed fubenvet I dampen wheat, a, so it sticks to the wheat and b, the hens prefer wheat damp esp soaked then drained.
how about explaining to your neighbour that they may DIE if they don't eat their medicine, but they won't eat their medicine while they are being given treats instead, just ask her not to feed them for a week (10days for her benefit) while they are treated, then small quantities of treats, like a child, getting fat would be unhealthy.
