    The Ivermectin Thread!

    In this thread, we will discuss the use of ivermectin both in treatment of our chickens for things like mites, and its possible use against COVID. I don’t want to take any position on ivermectin except as an excellent anti parasitic medication for cattle, pigs, chickens, and more. One of the...

    Mites Relief

    How soon after treatment will chickens feel relief from mites? I know it will take a few treatments to completely eliminate the problem but do chickens feel at least slightly better after the first application? Does anyone have any remedies that they swear by?

    So almost a month ago my rooster was acting very sick. He wouldnt eat or really drink. He was constantly sleepy and he didnt seem to want to lay down. His balance was also pretty off. After about a week of me putting water on his beak and mixing it with wet chicken seed he finally started to...

    Please help my rooster is sick!!

    One of my roosters has been very sick the past few days. He's about 6 years old so I dont think its an old age thing. I first noticed his odd sickly behavior 3 days ago. He wouldnt eat much and he was staying away from most of the chickens in the pen. The day after that I immediately knew...

    BALD SPOTS!!- Bantam rooster

    I noticed a couple months ago that my rooster has these bald spots near his comb. Even though he is the dominant rooster I thought maybe the other rooster pulled some feathers out. My coop has also been treated for mites. He is the only chicken in this pen that looks like this. I also thought it...

    Is this scaly leg mites?

    I'm pretty sure our silkie roo has a nasty case of leg mites. We took him out this evening to bathe him and saw these nasty looking feet. Here's our dilemma. He's my 11 year old daughter roo and he's a 4h chicken she is showing on Monday at our county Fair for her 4h project. She's showing him...

    Mites, mites, everywhere....

    Hey all, so I’ve been having a VERY difficult time ridding my coop/flock of mites. I have sprayed diatomaceous earth in the areas they most like to bathe, and I spray the areas where the mites seem to be hiding within the coop with a water/vegetable oil/soap mix. While this mix does seem to be...

    I realize these are not good pics so sorry for that but my chicks are not very tame having been raised by Mother Hen. I am concerned about leg mites but I'm new at this and the ones with feathers on their legs are the ones concerning me. I am wondering if anyone can tell if this cockerel might...

    mites

    I posted earlier about my chickens. One of them seemed to be thinning in the breast. Will Diatomaceous earth kill mites? I looked under her wings today and she was covered in mites. I took some de and dusted her in that. The other 2 chickens I have show no signs of mites. I dusted them as...

    Mites?

    what are some signs of mites? Our barnyard mix of chicks weren’t living in the greatest conditions when we bought them. Do mites cause the reddish skin? I’m new to the chicken life. If not mites, what is this?
