I don't know why it scares you, I believe it's used for parasites in humans as well. Like I say, I've had the liquid on my hands countless times (very large flock here) and even had it get splattered across my lips when a chicken suddenly flapped it's wing. No ill effect, but I'm not pregnant either, I'd be more careful then.
Now that I've gone back and read the box again I have no idea what it was that scared me so much.

See the above. Best way I know of, in my experience, to guarantee a cockerel is to declare "I'm keeping this chick no matter what!"

I actually just fell out of my chair! I was like how can you possibly tell its a boy Okay fine I'm selling it, it must go, it cannot stay, I do not want it!!! There is it a girl now?

Early in a pregnancy, Ivermectin would scare me, too, but at this stage of the game not so much. Carbaryl, though (the active ingredient in Sevin) - that stuff is NASTY!

I use Ivermectin all the time, have had it spilled all over me & splashed in my face as well. It tingles a bit (like rubbing alcohol) as it dries on your skin but other than that I haven't noticed any effects from it at all. If you really want rid of it, PM me & I'll swap ya some more eggies for it.

Quote: Sevin is much more toxic & is NOT recommended for use on animals. It's actually illegal to use it on animals according to the labeling.

My baby chicks arrived at the PO at 8:45AM and I had them in the Laree brooder by 9:15AM and they'll go under the broody mama about 8 or 9 PM tonight. I'll move her into a pet carrier with the eggs due to hatch on Sunday I know most hens will stay right on the eggs even with chicks. I'll candle and take out the obvious quitters. LOVE KATHYINMO!!! She has the most beautiful Delawares on the planet!!!
