Granny's gone and done it again

[Wishing4Wings]

This Dutch YouTuber did an amazing job of rescuing a tiny egg from a destroyed nest, incubating, hatching and feeding what turned out to be a tiny Eurasian wren.

haha ... wren... I got it!
Glad to hear he teaches the fledglings.

I had saved this when I first got chickens. I hope this will work for Deworming. Think it will prevent mites?


De-worming Methods using 1% injectable cattle ivermectin:
Birds up to 6 months old get 1/4 cc of ivermectin in the mouth. I want to be sure they get a

good dose since they are the most susceptible to parasites and internal parasite damage.

Grown birds are treated with 1cc of ivermectin per quart of water for 2 days. Mix a fresh

batch as needed each day. Birds drink what water they need according to size so I don't

worry about them over dosing. Over dosing isn't really a problem though for it takes a lot

of ivermectin to cause a problem. A friend did a test on a bantam rooster by giving the

bird 5 cc of ivermectin straight from the bottle. The bird was droopy a day or two, but

snapped right back and live another 6 or so years. If you want to find out more about

ivermectin you can find lots of information about it on the web.

Ivomec has withdrawal for meat (if you were going to eat the bird) but none stated for eggs

Good info, but Ivermectin does not treat most types of worms. I think it's mostly good for tapes (could be wrong) but if birds have round worms it doesn't work and you need a different type. Good to rotate wormers anyway, if you use them regularly, to prevent resistance.

There is not a specific withdrawal time because it is not approved for use for layers.
