I have done quite a bit of reading/research too. This is the route I am taking. Did the Wazine a week ago. I am now ordering the Eprinex. How many times a year do you do? I was going to do just in spring or maybe spring/fall type prophylacticly.

I have been doing wazine 2 X a year and Ivermectin 1X, but from now on I think I will do Eprinex 2X a year, in early spring before they begin to lay, and are recovering from winter, and in the fall, so they hopefully have no parasite load taken into winter stress.

Thanks, I think this is the route I am going to take too. It makes sense. Spring cleaning and cleaning in fall before winter sets.

They're in the same class of drugs, and are chemically related, but Eprinex was developed to deal with some parasites which had developed a resistance to Ivermectin.

Ok, I was under the impression that Ivermectin and Eprinex were kind of the same. Both deal with internal and external parasites. Can someone tell me why Eprinex is better? Maybe someone explained it and missed it, but I would love to have the info.

Ok Never mind....I must be braindead not to see what was written above.

And I realized that I have Ivomec pour on for cattle which is the same thing if I have read it right.

You don't have to withold eggs when using Eprinex

Blood has nothing to do with a roo. Just a little tissue or blood leak when she ovulated.

I got a good photo of Sylvia with the first shot tonight:

(Isn't she pretty? And dignified)

Not so much luck with Ian, but this gives you an idea of their relative sizes:

Most of my shots of him were like this:

"Peanuts? Peanuts? You did bring me peanuts, right? Moooooore PEANUTS!" Silly chicken.

That's great news. I think I was told that you did have to withold eggs, so I have been wary of using it again. But I would like to, just do it 2x a year to keep the parasite population down in my birds.
