My understanding of Ivermectin ,,,,,,,,,,, is used to treat worms. Those internal in the digestive track. How is that supposed to work on surface mites

You can apply it externally to skin too. I have thought about it but cost made me hold off.

It is good against worms, ticks, fleas, mites and more. Even if used externally there is an egg withdrawal period like 10 days or so, not certain.

DW found a bottle at F&F for $27. By now I bought 2 bottles of permethrin concentrate, 3 permethrin dust bath, 10 lbs of sulfur (afraid to try it lol), and DE. Not to mention the time I dont have to spare to do all of the treating.

From what I read it's just a single drip on back of the neck and I have like 4 ounces which should be enough for every poultry in this group lol. If all goes well you are welcome to my ivermectin and use what you need.

Anyone close to Northwest side of Chicago willing to treat my hens bumblefoot? I of course will come to you or you can come to me. I can assist.
Will pay.
I can't get into a vet for at least 2 weeks.
She has it in both feet.
I have never done it.

They look like Tiger Lillies. I have slightly different variety. I think , and they did not bloom yet.
Does your variety have the seeds at the base of the leaf, to stem???

Well, now you have some homework for today. Go grab a chicken and give her a big HUG.

Ok I dusted one Friday and snorted her today... I could faintly smell brimstone

Thank you for smelling the chicken. How often must it be reapplied?
