    Exzolt and cydectin treatments. Treating mites and lice/worms

    Can you treat chickens with Exzolt and cydectin at the same time? My chickens have just had their second/last dose of Exzolt in their water. Can I topically treat with cydectin now aswell or is it best to wait?

    Google says..... Amprolium (CORID) is approved for use in laying hens by the FDA, which means there is no egg withdrawal period when using it. Eggs laid by hens may be eaten during and after treatment with amprolium. What is the general opinion? I don't always trust the FDA.
