But thank you for sharing and showing how this has worked for you and your birds. This is the 3rd time in 2 years I've referenced this particular video so I just wanted to thank you.

Why do an egg withdrawal when humans use ivermectin too?

Barely any parts per million of the ivermectin reaches the eggs after traveling through the chicken's kidneys etc..Impossible for a human to even get an OD of Ivermectin from eating a treated chicken.A big chicken is only 5-6 lbs.

Great information

Thanks!🎉 Just got the pour on in the mail - will be administering the drops today .Was happy to watch your video as it's my first time.

I personally love the pour-on as well and totally agree. You must do what's right for YOUR farm. I also live in an climate that is humid and very damp in the spring & fall, so parasites can be an issue. We try to choose breeds that are more resistant, but they are still creatures that need care. Mites are a real nuisance for all of our livestock. The humidity in the hay barn over the summer is just a breeding ground. Last year the entire country had an oak mite explosion and we did not escape it... including myself. And you know what finally killed them? You guessed it, pour on. Keeping the health of the animal in mind, with proper feeding and preventatives, is great, but if I do not address the parasites I know are here, to comply with someone else's protocol or die by an 'all natural' label, it's not only foolish, but neglectful. My livestock will certainly not thrive, but they may also die. Not to mention, the alternative is what? Not raising my own food? Buying from factories? No. If using a chemical deformer is needed, use it. If you don't need it, don't use it. But just like gardening or really anything in life, we must educate ourselves to our own unique situation and solve problems from that point. The other reason I love pour on is that it does double duty with very easy, accurate, intentional dosing. It's just part of our routine welcoming Spring & bedding down for Winter (when parasites are doing the exact same thing). One other, almost wives tale, worm on a full moon when parasites are most active. If you need to repeat, new moon. If it's good enough for the Amish & farmer's almanac, it's good enough for me. 😆 And do it on an empty stomach.

Totally agree with you 1000 percent. Couldn't have said it better myself so thank you so much for this video. Look forward to any future videos you make as well. I have 22 chickens. 8 egg laying hens and the rest are silkies lol. I just noticed a spaghetti noodle like worm in my chickens poop today and all I seen was one thankfully but one is one too many bc I'm sure the others have them as well so I need something to get rid of them and I've had no luck with diatomaceous earthnfood grade in the past with worms or lice and mites so I'd like to get something that I know will work and I have plenty of eggs put back so I'll be fine during the withdrawal period.

I put the drops on their vent. It worked great. It got rid of scaly leg mites.

Thank you! Very helpful!

hello I used this on my chickens and it worked perfectly. You mentioned your husband uses it on your dogs and he knows the dosages. I have a 80 pound dog. Do you think you could share the dosage information with me. It would be much appreciated. thank you.

Great information. Thank you madam. Pls at what dose can Ivermectin be used on 1 month old broilers? Can it be used same way by dropping?

thank you for your video. I am new to chickening and my girls are coming in two weeks. One question. are you using the pour on as it comes or do you dilute it with water or something?

I've used ivermectin. It works well and not too difficult to administer. The stuff you put in the water is a little easier though. Used Safeguard Aquasol for the last treatment and that worked well. It's not easy to find and if you do find it you have to buy a whole bunch. I have a local vet that will prescribe just as much as is needed for your flock so that makes it easy.

Hi Leslie. What is the egg withdrawal or if there is any at all? Thanks Viktor.

How often do you use the first saturday lime on bedding ?

So, how do you treat tape worms?

Added to their water and it did nothing! Have 1 with scaly leg mites. Need to treat them all now. 3 are new rescues and can’t catch, so went with the meds in the water. Mixed the correct amount with a gallon of water but it took them nearly 3 days to drink it!

I have a chicken that has worms. I treated her once a week ago with 5 drops. How often can I treat her? Please, and thank you for your reply
