Using pour on ivermectin to treat depluming mites?

[Kcollins213]

I’m pretty sure I have depluming mites on a few of my birds. At first I thought it was because of my rooster being to rough with his lady but now 2 of my roosters have it. Their wing and tail feathers are just broken off and have no fluff on them anymore. I don’t notice them being itchy during the day but something is off with them. I’ve read some posts but they all seem older, so has anyone has experience with these and how do you treat them? And how much do I use? Thank you in advance!

If you're going to give ivermectin it needs to be given based on the bird's weight.

1% ivermectin

• Give 0.05 ml per pound of bodyweight orally. (0.25 ml per five pounds).

0.05% ivermectin (pour-on)

• Give 0.1 ml per pound of bodyweight topically on the skin (0.5 ml per five pounds).

Give every 10 days.
