Hello today I discovered some of my chickens have scaly Leg mites. The only thing I have available on hand is cattle ivermectin the ones that goes injected. I was wondering if I could dilute some with water and spray it on my chickens legs.

For scaly legs mites apply vaseline or nustock cream to the legs and feet making sure to get the ointment up and under the scales.

Injectable Ivermectin is dosed orally by weight.
