IVERMECTIN SHEEP DRENCH

[casportpony]

Sooo this is an old thread,but as the title suggests (and maybe I missed the answer here somewhere) does anyone know the dosage for giving chickens ivermectin sheep drench? I'm treating for scaly leg mites. Seems too drippy to use as pour-on? Anyone?

1 ml of the sheep drench has 0.8 mg (800 micrograms) ivermectin. Not sure what the dose should be, but it's probably 0.12 ml to 0.57 ml per pound.

Thanks, Kathy.

Do you know if the drench can be used as a pour-on, or is that just a waste? it always seems like such a struggle to give chickens anything orally (probably I just don't have the touch! Lol).

Probably better to use something designed to be poured on.

Did you find another thread with the answer? It's 1-4 drops per bird. I did two on the silkies and 3 on the golden comets.
