Hi... what is the best place to buy this and is it as effective as the 0.8% that i can get from the vets??

Also am I dreaming that you can put it in the water as well or is it just topical application ??

Thanks in advance

Yes I have redmite..... now I found lice too   CC is not a happy chicken

[joyfull]

sorry never used it CC, hopefully somebody who has will be along soon xx

i think that you will find ivermectin is mainly for cattle worming, and not licensed for chickens. i had mine from my vets, only had a small amount, but as it is not licensed, there is a 28 egg withdrawl period.
it is supposed to kill all worms and lice on a chicken.

would suggest you try your local vet for correct dosage instructions if you are using different strengths

He he he..... I had a long conversation with my vet two days ago and guess what?.....  I cant remember what she said:(

I will have to go into the surgery and speak to her again I suppose and look a dimwit!!  Oh well whats new

I am sure she said that you could use the 0.1% stuff either in the water or straight down the beak....

With around 200 quail chicks and nearly 100 chicken chicks..... I would prefer it to go in drinking water....

Its weird though because they dont all seem to have guests

[joyfull]

Take a note pad with you this time CC

mine was for oral in a syringe, but i only had a couple to dose.

lol, yes, notepad time. lol

Hope you get it sorted CC - what a nightmare with all your various broods  

CC gave me my Serama lads so I've seen her set-up and we are talking a lot of birds to dose 

[Chookiechook]

Yep..... note pad or tape recorder me thinks..... I am not blessed in the memory department..... actually its the listening dept that is also a bit faulty... i tend to drift off into a chickeney world of my own

If I could treat drinking water the same way as when you worm then that would be soooo easy

I have three big pens and two smaller runs and about 15 cages of chicks to dose

Maybe I am being paranoid but I want clean birdies again

New Shoot.... how are the boys....??  The housing you made looked fab

[New shoot]

CC - sorry about the delay in replying.  Been busy at work, then got horrible summer cold which knocked me out for a week and I was just about getting home from work and crawling off to bed.

Boys are fine - I put some piccies on here a couple of week ago so will dig out thread and see if I can link it

How are your lot - still got friends or are you winning the war

[Chookiechook]

Awww they look fab..... Much better than they would have looked if you hadnt had them

They have really landed on their feet   Maybe you should come and get them some girls of their own

[New shoot]

They are slowly being introduced to my girls.  Had combined garden playtime today and then went in the big run for a bit.  Few minor spats but nothing serious. 

I'd love some more girls but OH not so sure 

[Chookiechook]

Well work on him.... LOL

[New shoot]

Always 

Here's the dynamic duo today exploring the garden. Alfie has just discovered my tomato pots on the steps and has helped himself 



Alfie now 'thinning' my aquilegia seedlings  He got a telling off for that
