Not due to the worming unless perhaps you overdosed them when mixing it?
Sounds like Mycoplasma which is not necessarily serious as it only flares up when stressed to due perhaps to poor welfare, a change of circumstance, bad weather or weak stock. Our neighbour's surviving lonely (French) hen has had it on and off for 3 years, so we took her over, wormed her, gave her a cosy coop, and fed her on decent pellets. All the symptoms have quickly disappeared. We have had Myco carried in our flock for years and have added new stock without incident. The only reason we knew we had it was when a hen became run-down and the symptoms appeared. We have hatched chicks but did so by machine, certainly not with a broody. The chicks when old enough were added to a certainly infected breeding pair and we have had no problems.
It could perhaps also be Avian flue, or Infectious Bronchitis. It could be a Myco flare-up caused by a depressed immune system resulting from the toxins given off from dying worms in a hen that had a very heavy worm burden. Try giving each a one-off shot of 0.5mL Cod Liver Oil.
I read somewhere that approximately half of all stock carries Myco anyway and eventually all will have it with only the strong and healthy surviving. On that basis I wouldn't worry about avoiding it.
