Equine pastes containing ivermectin usually have another wormer in it like praziquantel, moxidectin or fenbendazole/panacur. You will be treating for mites with ivermectin and worming them. The dosage for equine pastes containing ivermectin is a "BB" size amount for each chicken, given orally. You are still going to have to dust your coop, nests, roosts. In 10 days you're going to have redust your coop, nests, roosts to kill nits that have hatched from eggs since the first dusting. By using the equine wormer, there is a 14 day egg wtihdrawal. Dont feed them back to your chickens, there is residue in the eggs and you'll be extending the withdrawal period.
Thank you for the dosing info. And thank you for bringing up the issue of feeding the eggs back to them. The first time I medicated my chickens I did that without even thinking twice about it.
