Worming + Permethrin Spray = Harmful?

[Dawnclucks22]

I’ve posted a couple times on other threads that I’m treating my flock for mites. While in treatment I can’t eat their eggs, and the same case is with the worming meds that I have. My mom suggested worming them at the same time so we won’t be without eggs for so long. But will this weaken their immune systems too much?

I would do this. The permethrin is a single treatment and then a second treatment in 7 to 10 days. Worming is the same. Stagger them though

I don't believe that there is an egg withdrawal for permethrin spray or dust.

The feed store employees said there was, and that was what I thought at first since it's applied externally... Guess I'll do some more research.

Meat withrawl is more likely

There is no withdrawal of any kind when using permethrin on a bird.

Most things we give the birds are not on label for them. When that happens, the standard is to say two weeks.

It is good that permethrin is on label!

I do not withdraw eggs when I worm them. It is the same worm medicine that is given to people so if a little bit gets into an egg, It will not hurt me. I do not sell them or give them away because someone might be allergic to it.

Thank you for clearing that up. Yes I figured the birds wouldn’t safe to eat but they’re our pets and egg layers so that’s not a problem for me.

...or get worms themselves, then product might not work in human due to resistance....not likely, but still.
What wormer do you use?
