Is the same med used on any worms.
Is the consensus to use ivamectin orally?

I've never heard of ivamectin being used orally,

There are oral versions of Ivermectin but none are licensed for poultry.
They are common for sheep and for horses and such livestock.
As you say, only ever to be given under veterinary direction - as directed
for the birds requiring the treatment
Hopefully as the domestic poultry world grows the drug companies will see
the financial benefit of testing and licencing for poultry. I would suspect
that the increase in commercial free range flocks will also prove a driving
force as they are going to be increasingly bothered by parasites.

shows that some are thinking about it.
