I can vouch for this stuff. Little 8oz bottle of concentrate under $10 will make gallons, for coop or animal. Approved for use on poultry too. AND it WORKS!

yeah, some say 10/90, others say 80/20. Those that subscribe to this usually kill all sick birds.

isnt there always going to be a "low man on the totem pole" ?

wont the ivermectin pour on work ? Thats what I used . maybe a bit more then a drop. LOL

How much does he weigh? He can have more than one drop. one drop is unlikely to treat chit.

It will eventually, but the mites have to bite him more to die. If it's what you've got, it's better than nothing and will give him a chance. Feed him up tomorrow.

A bird with an underlying disease is more likely to have worms and external parasites, which he will spread to others if not treated,

yup different one. same one that had/has the eye infection.

I'm thinking the Polish are more trouble than they're worth.

I didnt weigh him but I used way more then a drop. neck and base of tail.

Thanks.
I generally cull sick birds unless they're favourites---isn't saying much since sick birds are rare for me, most of my birds that bite the dust do so because of predators. I have some lice issues but I don't have any birds left that get bad cases. I can definitely see that there are some birds in my flock that just aren't healthy no matter what management practices or feed.

Mine never had all those issues in TN and i had 4 or 5 pens of them.

From what I've read, it takes a lot to overdose Ivermectin, so a little extra is better than not enough. You agree?
