It's not water-soluble. Can you give it to them orally?

Not to discourage you but you can't get rid of mites easily. You can get a pour on designed for cattle and apply it to the skin. But you'll still have to clean and treat the coop and nest boxes after treating the birds individually.You'll also have to do it multiple times(more than once)

Thank you. I'm wondering if I can use paste?

You have a poultry ivermectin paste?

If it's equine paste controlling dosage with a 4kg chicken would be problematic I would think.
Imo fenbendazole liquid makes dosing a heck of a lot easier. It's also very cheap. Dose the water, individual bird or dose the feed.
A search here will reveal dosage rates.

But yeah..... these things are not going to do much for a mite infestation. You need proper mite treatment.
