Lice and scaly leg situation! 😱

[Chookencrazy]

Living in a third world country has its pros and cons. They only product I can get my hands on is called “Bayopet Bacdip Plus” or “Ecomectin 1% injectable solution”. Does anyone know if I can use either of these products for my situation.

You can use the Ecomectin as a "pour-on". Don't inject it.

One drop for tiny birds on the back of the neck.
Three drops for medium size birds
Four to five drops for an average size bird
Six drops for a heavy breed

Repeat in fourteen days.

Thank you so much. How often should I repeat the treatment?

You shouldn't need to do it for some time. Just be sure to do a second treatment two weeks after the first application to get any new hatches.

Sorry, one last question. Should I throw the eggs my hens lay after the treatment away or can I feed them back to them?

Not necessary. Eat the eggs. They will be unaffected.
