I use ivermectin pour on

where do you get that

 

[Grandmas Coop]

Yes. Depending on the mite type you may need to treat both birds and coop. Powder permethrin is easier on birds in cold weather, while liquid is better for spraying coop.

well

I am going to have to Hynie wash all 15 birds with dawn, I wont do a whole bath- - then treat them - some I didnt see mites but if 1/2 have them I'll do all the birds

Feed store. Its for cattle.

3 drops for a silkie, 5 for a large fowl. Giant breeds need an extra drop

so in their mouth?? i never have gotten the hang of that

Also Frontline for dogs (not cats). 2 drops large fowl. 1 drop bantam. It's persistent in the skin so only use if you're not going to be eating eggs for a long time. I usually only use if a broody I'm going to use for chicks shows signs of mites. It's also expensive.

No. On their back. Its pour on

 

[Hinotori]

Go in at night with a headlamp and go down the roost dosing them. That's what I do

The injectable ivermectin is the one that's given orally to chickens for certain things. I think the goat paste ivermectin is easier for that
