For beginners the Wazine-17 is the easiest to use, 1 fluid oz per gallon of water, treat for a full day and then repeat in two weeks.
Eprinex is the same as I have here on hand. Noromectin 1% injectable. Two different products with the same active ingredient. 1% Ivermectin. If that doesn't get confusing enough there is injectable, pour-on and even a spot-on formula.
There was a feedlot in N.E. Ok that lost two pens of fat cattle because the worker thought he grabbed the pour-on when he got the spot-on. Poured a line down each of their backs and the cattle in the first pen started dying before he completed the second pen.
When someone starts out in poultry sometimes it can get very confusing and a tad overwelming too and I was trying to go the most simple route.
I too want to worm our flock since we haven't yet...I am familiar with worming critters, and would prefer either injectable or spot on ivermectin...how much do I use? How long is the egg withdrawal period?
BTW, NN, we bought the two Welsummer pullets from you---FABULOUS girls! I really love them!
I'm glad you like the Wellies, the larger one has been handled but the smaller one hasn't. She was an escapee and was free-ranging when the net found here but she should calm right down.
The 1% injectable that I use I give orally on a piece of bread while wearing latex gloves. 1cc for large fowl and 1/2cc for bantams. The spot-on is way to powerful for these little birds.
I sure miss the wife's Airedale JJ. The Coyotes are close tonight and on nights like this I could turn him loose and he would get one or two of the closest ones. He was Oorang bloodline which is the hunting lines and would go about 70 pounds of solid muscle. Emily, the female I trained as a man-stopper. She goes around 60 pounds and has put many off of this place late at night.
I will buy two or three cars and put them together to make one good one so I always have a few sitting around. When copper was so high people would come up at night to steal the radiators and wiring. Emily got three that I am certain of. After all what are they going to do, go to the sheriff's office and complain? " Well I was out theiving and got dog bit so I want to file a complaint"
