I sure wish you could shoo/send/blow some, but not all, our way.

I do not want to move! But my run is slop too. And now it smells. Yuck. I have drained it but it doesn't get enough sun so alas it is terrible. They do have a large outdoor screened area that is dry but the run is yucky. We have had 2 and 1/2 inches of rain in three days. I am ready for a bit of sunshine now. It has been blessedly cool but now the warmmer day makes it smell. I will need some more limestone I think. It will help maybe.

Ps: on the ivermectin , it is 5mg per cc. So the bird only gets about 2mg. Thats liquid drops on the skin not internally.

i work at a vets office and we use the cattle noimectin and give it twice with 10 days in-between but we have never used this before i may take it to work and see if i can use it externally if i can't internally but how would you do that rud on the neck or legs or what? thanks for the help

I put one drop on the back of the head and the rest around the rump on the skin not feathers.

Quote: I've read were this doesn't actually de-worm the birds, it just kills lice/ mites on the birds. Could you ask at your work?

The 1% cattle ivomec used via absorption DOES worm chickens. I have used it for years and have had floats tests done to be sure. Float test before ivomec was positive for worms. I placed the ivomec on the skin on the back at the base of the neck. Float test 4 days later was clear.

how much do you put a drop of pure or diluted? what are you measurements if you have any?

I'll have to look at what type my box says it is. Thanks for the heads up on this.
