Ivermectin for mites

[Folly's place]

There's not an official egg withdrawal period, because it's not approved for use in chickens. Therefore, if you do use it, you'll just be picking a length of time that appeals to you're comfort zone. Mary

I will probably discard eggs for at least 2 weeks to be on the safe side. Can I feed these eggs back to the hens? Its going to kill me to throw all those eggs away!
One more question; do I need to do another application of the Ivermectin in a week or two or does one treatment suffice?

When I have used it for lice just the one treatment is all I need.

Feeding those eggs back just continues their ivermectin contact, and lower doses, and contributes to drug resistance. Throw them out! Mary
