How do I mix invermectin with water?

[SpeckledPullet]

I have 4 hens and am wondering how much ivermectine I need to mix in with their water supply? Should I just use paste and mix it with a treat? Thanks!

It should say on the container how much you need to give per bird.

I used a baby bottle liner(you know the "drop in liners"(that's just what I had around the house) and I would pour the powder in there and that way I would know just how much I was adding to the water. I put it in their water and whatever they hadn't drank by the next morning I would dump it out and make a fresh batch...it's a pain in the rump but it kept them healthy! Blessings,Keri

Don't!

Purchase the Ivermectin injectable then using a syringe with the needle attached give it by mouth. 3-5 drops for a bantam; 7-10 drops for mature std. fowl. saladin
