Frontline for the chooks
« on: February 11, 2009, 14:57 »
I notice on the mites and general nasties page that frontline can be used for mites etc on chooks. How long should i withdraw the eggs for after application??
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

This is what Babe's vet said:

Frontline doesnt get into animals blood stream so should not affect eggs, but he says that until its poultry licensed he wouldnt like to say for certain, maybe wise to give them 5-7 days to err on the side of caution.

It's up to you but you might never get fleas  :lol:  

You certainly should not sell or give the eggs away as Frontline is not licenced for poultry.
