Has anyone used this it was sold to me as a preventative worming treatment two drops on each chuck like frontline I asked for flubenvet but he insisted this was good he also tried to sell me verm x but I read a post by hillfooter about it and left it with him. Anyway should I use this medicine it says it's for pigeons on the box. I've not used it yet there is a two week egg withdrawal and I wanted to check with you guys
ps they have already been treated with frontline could using this overdose them ?

Why are you getting another wormer if they have already been treated with flubenvet? If this other thing has a 2 week egg withdrawel i wouldnt touch it!....Also , you have a choice if you dont want something, dont be brow beaten into buying it. If you still have your reciept, take it back, say you were sold the wrong stuff , could you either have flubenvet or your money back........dont let them push you around

It's just Ivermectin  

Take it back.  It's NOT for chickens.  Do  you want to throw away eggs for two weeks ?

Dizzyl they have not been treated with flubenvet  they have been treatedwith frontline this stuff apparently kills lice aswell so I was worried about o d them I think I may have been ripped off  I don't mind though I learn from these things I'll get flubenvet from somewhere else.

sorry hun, speed reading again! Frontline works a treat on chickens for all things crawling, but its not licenced for them so beware (i use it on mine) You wont over dose them using frontline and flubenvet together or close together-dont worry. seriously though, take that stuff back...if he gets funny say he sold you a product thats not licensed for chucks and your gonna report him ...dont take rubbish, there are too many people trying to make a quick buck from novices...dont take it!

I'll take this one on the chin. but long term they have lost out. So do I get flubenvet from a vet? or can I buy it anywhere ?

[Aunt Sally]

You can get it from lots of places.  vet, country/feed store, online.

Petmeds does good prices.  Click on the link on this page  http://www.poultry.allotment-garden.org/
