Hey, y'all! I hope everyone is doing well. I can't catch up because it was over 100 pages of reading, haha. We are great on this end. Kids are good, chickens are good, and I'm on the couch with my yarn and tea while my husband plays video games on the other couch.

Doing great here, getting my breeding program off and running, just finished my website, glad everything is good on your end

And I am curious why anyone would think its a good idea to hatch out eggs from their chickens while they are in a withholding time from doing a worming treatment. If you can't eat the eggs, and sometimes they even look weird for the first day or so. But I've seen people advertising eggs "for hatching only, not eating" because their chickens have been wormed. That just doesn't make sense to me. Am I missing something???

as for the ivermec....pour on...you can drip a couple of drops in the chickens mouths...or inject it...but Im don't inject as it can damage the tissue...as for the egg thing...all mine were going in the garbage and now I found a lady that I give them to free and she does egg artwork on them very beautiful work ....she sells them in a magazine and I should make the magazine coming easter...but shhhh...as soon as the article comes out I will let everyone know...the article is a big name magazine...everyone will know it but I have to keep it a hush until it comes out...lol....well here is some of the artwork...and as for eggs for hatching...if your treating your birds for something the eggs shouldn't be used for hatching as anything goes into the egg and embryo...so if you have sick chickens or doing routine worming...its not a good idea to use the eggs...just my thoughts....




she even has her own website...

There are 2 kinds of ivomec. One is injectable and one is not. I also know there is a specific dosage for routine worming, but I just don't have it anymore. I'm sure I will find it. This is just a routine thing before we get into real spring. I thought you meant carved eggs before I saw the picture. But it looks painted. Pretty. I'm sure she is excited to share her craft in a magazine.

Hey everyone. Just checking in to see how everyone's doing. I'm getting a little spring fever reading about y'all hatching chicks! Wish I could get some new girls this year but I'll have to wait till next year. My ten girls are doing fine. They loved the uptake in the temps a few days ago. Went from three eggs a day to 9 for three days in a row. Then the temps dropped and we're back to 5 at the moment. I'm thinking I will have more eggs than last summer once the warm weather hits. They will be one year old in March. I do have a question about worming though. How do you know you need to worm or should it just be part of a maintenance program? I feed my chickens organic feed so I would like to keep them organic if possible. I have read some people use pumpkin seeds and such. Any advice on this? I have a autoimmune liver disease so I try to carefully monitor what my body processes such as food and meds so that's why I try to eat as organic as possible. Thanks for any advice you can help with about the worming!

I don't know about a worming program some do it ounce a year. I do pumpkin seeds . I've heard others do cayenne pepper mixed in food. I don't know if you use azure standard to buy your organic food but the price it less than local feed stores. Pam

I finally found this dosage rate for the ivermectin pour on. I normally like to follow information from real science, like university studies that have proven what works and what doesn't. Because there is so much mis-information out there! But this is an off label product use, so I don't think I will be finding that for this product. Although it is off label, I have seen charts where dosage rates are listed for the injectable Ivermectin. And years back when we raised tropical birds our vet dosed a cockatiel for us to treat for mites with the injectable ivermectin. It worked perfectly. And I think that the use of Ivermectin pour on externally on chickens is off label only because there isn't any money in it. There is no pay off for doing the studies etc.

If there is a 10-14 day second treatment and then a 10 day (at least) withdrawal that takes up a lot of time. But for the kids show poultry breeders (that we don't plan on eating, lol) It is worth it to keep them healthy and not being subjected to their health being compromised by any worms or mites. I inspect our chickens VERY regularly and have not seen any signs of mites. But worms........well, chickens eat dirt, and sometimes taste a freshly laid steamy turd that the hen next to them just dropped. So I'm pretty sure that all of my chickens need to be wormed at least once a year. I didn't used to think so, but after this many years I really do. Now that we have been worming they are just so much healthier and their feathers look great, body weight is up overall. Happy Chickens.
