Ivermectin pour on...use an old eye drop container... Three drops above the vents and two drops under each wing for LF...two drops above vent and 1 drop under wings for bantams..killed internal and external parasites i do it 4x a year with each season...for really tough lice or mites frontline spray

Does it kill internal eggs too or do you need to reworm after 10 days?

Well, internal worms lay eggs too and usually you reworm to kill the worms that hatch.

Quote: Exactly, I use the cattle pour on. I was mainly treating because I saw mites/lice on a bird the other day, so figured I better treat everyone before they spread like wildfire.

It works great on lice/mites and will treat most types of internal worms - same stuff that is used for heartworm in dogs. I wasn't really planning on worrying about withdrawal time, I think it's used in people for parasites as well. It just kills everything systemically.

Hey all, I will start shipping out a ton of eggs in the next few weeks so if you are waiting on eggs from me, mostly hen's choice then they should be coming soon. I do have a question and looking for a bit of feedback. I had a brief about 15 minute break out from my rhodebar pen where two of my girls got out when one of my sons went in. I saw one of the girls get "bred" by an easter egger. The other I don't think ever got "bred." So, big question is should I pull the rhodebars from my hen's choice for the next 3 weeks?. I have at least 4 hens laying. In the fuss of catching them I didn't actually pay attention to see if they were the laying hens. I have 7 hens in that coop. So, chances are pretty slim that you would end up with any mixed breed chick but wanted to make the tryst known just in case. I figure if it was me the small risk would be worth having rhodebar eggs. However, if you do NOT want to take the risk or overall if people think I shouldn't include those eggs, just let me know I and will hatch a lot of rhodebars for 3 weeks and watch closely. Had I been a thinking man instead of a crazy man chasing hens all over the farm, I would have put them in with my layers for 3 weeks and not had this problem. However, I was not a thinking man so I am left with this dilemma as I was seeing red toward my son and frantically trying to "fix it". 5 more seconds of thought and it wouldn't have been a problem at all.

So, generally what do you all think? include or no?

I use Valbazen. Treat..then retreat in 10 days. 14 day egg withdrawal. Do not eat eggs for 24 days. You CAN incubate.
Given orally 1/2 CC for LF, 1/4 CC for bantam

you can send them all to me! I will hatch them out!
(just kidding...alas...if you aren't NPIP, you cant send to me.)

I don't think I am getting cockroaches (on purpose) any time soon,
but since getting into chickens, I have started looking at stinkbugs differently.
They invade our house in the winter and buzz clumsilly around,getting caught in my hair, dying in lightcovers & stinking up the place, very annoying... in the past.

but now...winter chicken snacks!!!!

I've been doing that with any creepy-crawlies I find in the house too!

Ooh, uh -- yeah, that's a hard one. I agree, the chances of a crossbreed seem pretty slim. (Among other things, if she's a layer she's probably already been bred by your RO roo so the chances are diminished that much further -- competing sperm). If it's not too many swaps, I'd contact everyone individually and ask their preference. If it IS a lot of swaps, I'd include an extra egg just in case and a note letting them know what happened That's for what it's worth and simply what I'd do.

What do other folks think?

And kids! Gotta love 'em I miss mine! They grow up too fast...
