I need to bathe some of my chickens for mites and scaley leg mites. We used ivermectin pour-on for cattle (1-2 drops, 3 times a week apart) last winter and thought we got them. Also malathion powder for the coop. Guess we missed some.
Not sure where the mites came from. I never realized how easy it is to transmit parasites.
How much Adams Shampoo do I use? I have both standard and bantam. I poisoned one of my rats by using too much shampoo. Don't want to do the same here.
I don't have the spray but will try to get some either tomorrow or Monday. When you spray is it just a mist over the feathers or do you get down to skin?
Also, I saw a mention of injecting ivermectin. Can someone tell me the details on that?
What is the best way to treat for worms? How do you know if they have worms?
How do I keep the mites from running to the chickens' heads? That happened with the one I bathed yesterday. I wiped her face with mineral oil and put some on the skin and feathers where the mites had run to.
Any other suggestions, hints, etc. welcomed.
Thanks
