    Ivermectin Oral for mites

    My vet gave me ivermectin oral for mites for my chickens. I cannot find mites but all indications are that is why they have no feathers on their bun and belly. The skin is also quite red at times. Has anyone used the oral for mites and what is the egg withdrawal time? Thanks for your help. I am...

    What should be first?

    Long time no see, BYC! I'm going to make this post short and sweet lol. What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia? We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe. I have corid(liquid) and...

    Fowl Pox or Favus?

    One of my chickens started looking poorly on Monday (April 8). Tail down and lethargic. We've had very healthy chickens and no problems for a few years now, so it was definitely a surprise when this one started acting sick. I know chickens are great at hiding illness, so when we notice...

    Sick Emu Cured

    I recently had a sick emu, Kali, but through intervention his symptoms have cleared and he's happy again. I decided to share the details for posterity, in case anyone else has a sick emu with similar symptoms and needed a point of reference. Symptoms: He's always been a very small/skinny bird...

    Ivermectin and eggs

    I put ivermectin pour over on my flock last week. I know that there is a 14 day egg withdrawal period. As it's a tropical solution, I'm wondering how harmful the eggs are to the birds. 2 of my hens ate an egg today.

    My neighbors have just had a very, very bad infestation of mites for which we used ivermectin drops and diatomaceous earth, but one hen has a pale comb and a very hard, swollen belly. The mites (northern fowl mites I think) were all over her, the worst I've ever seen, but the drops and the...

    Large 'Scale' Scaly Leg Mites

    So I have approx 90 chickens. Half the flock (mostly the Ameraucanas and mix breeds) are showing signs of scaly leg mites. I am obviously going to treat my whole flock, but what is the best way on such a large scale? Petroleum Jelly would take way to long to thoroughly apply. I was thinking of...

    Tiny Serama Hen has Mites!

    My tiny Serama Hen has mites and is anemic. Can I treat her with Ivermectin and if so, do I apply it topically and how much should I use. She probably does not weigh 1/2 a pound.

    We have a flock of 7 Orpingtons that we got on Christmas for our toddler. She got poop on her hand the other day and I've had enough pets to understand that they have tapeworm, confirmed by a few chicken owner friends. I've been to 3 farm & feed stores and talked to several people on what I...
