Scaly leg mites. Paste invermectin in drinking water.

[Moi]

15 mutt chickens. All ages. Want to dose their water. Can I use paste? And the directions are?

I'd use the ivermectin pour-on **cattle formula from TSC or similar**, and you put it on the back of their neck/shoulders, much like you apply flea/tick medicines to dogs. I've seen varying dosages and time intervals to repeat this though. I used it for a tough case where I'd already tried applying the permethrins to the legs. You'll want to search for the correct dosage, maybe someone knowledgeable for that will reply soon.

I don't think it works on scaly leg mites, especially if taken orally. Have you tried pyrethrine and Vaseline?

You basically posed the same question in your other thread in 2019.
I posted to that thread back then - nothing has changed. Dosing and application method is still the same. That Information can be found in this link. Good luck!
