Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

There were a couple of things I read that made frontline sound better than products like ivermectin because ivermectin travels through the blood while frontline is spread through oil glands. I need to research it. We haven't eaten any of the eggs and I don't have my breeding pens set up yet so I haven't hatched any.

I admit I didn't put as much research into it as I normally would before using it. I was desperate to get rid of the mites.

Most of the information out there is personal experience since it's off-label use.

im just doing some research, and speculating a little hoping someone else will step in here who understands better than i do.

frontline plus for dogs contains ethanol. if im not mistaking, that is to aid in skin absorption to make it stystemic? (question more than statement). im trying to figure out its exact process and possible problems, if it works well - and low chance of side effects its will worth recommending.

Anyone have any advice for treating frostbite?

I moved a 3 month old LF cochin chick outside yesterday. Today we had a high of -15 degrees (with wind chill) and a low of -40 degrees. Normally I don't have problems, but he was simply too young.

His right leg was frozen solid. I brought him in to warm up and his leg has thawed, but it's swollen to at least 4 times it's usual size. Poor boy...

I started asking around after using it and I found out that many great breeders use frontline on a regular basis to keep their breeding flocks mite and lice free.

I look forward to seeing what information you find.

Welp got the ultra-bator in the house and all sanitized. Gunna let the bleach solution dry on its own before I spool it up... granted it don't take long to heat even from cold start lol... someone may have put 450w of heating element in it. Teehee

I don't think I ever updated you guys on the Frontline Plus treatment for mites and lice.

Within 3 days of using it, all of the mites and lice were dead and I haven't seen one yet. I don't see any eggs either. Frontline Plus is a miracle.

awesome, I am so glad you did your research and got it under control instantly!!
