It's Ivermectin Pour-On for Cattle 5mg.
I'm using a syringe dropper, giving bantam size 2 drops, full size heavy hens 4 drops, big marans roosters 5 drops. The chicks got one drop. We found white lice in today's inspection, and I believe we have mites too. Chickens are losing weight and going bald, despite aprons on the girls. It's too severe to be a moult.
I read this board for about an hour in the "search feature" and have found people that love using it, and people who recommend that you do not. But I used Sevin the last time, cleared out the coop and here we are-- more lice. Trying something new/different/drastic. I may be a chicken-less woman in the morning.
The chicks have had it on for several hours and are acting fine. I gave them worms and raisins tonight and they danced like wild things!
Well that just sucks big time. I am soooo glad our dry climate doesn't allow pests like that to live. No roaches, mites, lice, fleas, etc. I LOVE IT! We do get flies though. ICK!
For 1 adult standered breed chicken, it is 1 Ml the poultry vet said to use the injetcable (seeing as he has not used the poor on) and 1/2 a ml /adult bantam
Watching the Brooks and Dunn show right now.
