Once and for all scaly leg mite treatment?

[blondie55555]

We aren't supposed to get it off. They will lose it in time naturally. At the most, you could take a soft toothbrush to their feet and legs while soaking them.

The best treatment is lubing them up every other day for three times, then in 7-10 days, do this same thing again. We'd go in the coop at night while their roosting and do it.

We have silkies that will just get them, no matter what we do, about once every couple of years. After doing this two different times, we had then tripled the number of silkies, and made greasing 40 feet three times a week nearly impossible. We then went to the Ivermectin pour-on. It's a drop on the back of their necks for bantam breeds, two to three drops for larger birds. Repeat in 7-10 days.

Can you please provide info on this ivermectin? Which one? Can it be used for preventative or used when I see mites? I continually battle mites on a hen with cross beak. Can you eat eggs after dosing?
