What form of ivermectin do you have? If it's liquid pour-on, you need to get it on their skin. Putting it on their legs will be overkill, they only need a few drops on the skin. If you have the injectable cattle liquid, or the horse paste, you could orally dose them. It would be a tiny amount of the liquid, or a small pea size amount of the horse paste. Do NOT give pour-on by mouth.

Some have made little t-shirts that fit snugly in order to support a pendulous crop. Myself, if the bird couldn't cope with daily life, I would put it down.

It is the injectable type comes in a little glass bottlei put it in their water my rooster keeps attacking me if i try picking upa hen and my hens dont sit still they hate being picked up but the injectable kind how would i use it ? As for the pendulum crop we dont have stuff like that around here the t shirts. She eats and is active also

If you're already putting it in their water, then they're getting it. You'd dose it orally. Could put it on a bit of bread and feed it to them.

Ok i will try this as for the scaley leg mites i wil try to put vaseline is spraying garlic juice effective for leg mites

Nope, garlic will just make the mites zesty. Is there any way you can seperate your rooster while you treat your hens so you won't get attacked?

It is possible i can get him locked up but he has the scaley leg mites the worst and he gets very aggresive when i try to touch him

Can you sneak in at night, wrap him in a towel and treat him that way? If you can get him wrapped up you can do what you need to without getting hurt.

I don't think it's water soluble.
