Red .... I did not know you have to repeat the Ivermectin in 10 days. I thought it stayed in their system longer than 10 days, and that was why we toss the eggs for 2 weeks. Am I wrong about that? Shoot .....
I did my fall worming about a month ago, and thought I had all possibilities (worms, mites, lice) covered by using Ivermectin.
Isn't there some kind of "dip," also? Like when you dip a dog for fleas? What is that stuff called?
ddawn, Are you saying the 1/2 cc dose will not kill lice and mites?
Thanks
I think the previous posters are getting a little mixed up. It's not required to repeat ivermectin in 10 days, she may have meant sevin dust for the coop, nests etc... Also, 1/2cc will kill lice/mites on standard size chickens and 1/4cc on smaller chickens....no repeat dosing is required.
OOh..... i repeated my dose!! OOps!
Guess i wont do THAT again...
