Interesting as mine have leg mites, too and the vaseline treatments

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

I've never heard of ivamectin being used orally, nor noramectin which I have
also used.  They are used as "spot on" treatments, part the feathers on the
back of the neck of your chickens and apply as many drops as your vet
recommends for the size of your chickens.
It does the lot.  Worms, lice, scaly leg, any parasites, gone.
It's not licensed for chickens, anyway, it's at your own risk if your vet
lets you have it, it's for cattle.
DO NOT GIVE IT ORALLY. I cannot emphasise this enough.  It's a spot on.
Usenet can be dangerous when people give advice when they don't know what
they are talking about.
I hope you haven't given this orally yet.
Let me know.

I've been giving it orally for years. My first chickens had leg mites.
gone in a week. I asked my vet if I could use it topically. He said it
wouldn't work. Since there is a difference of opinion, maybe you
should ask a vet.- Hide quoted text -

IVERMECTIN , My first chickens had leg mites when I bought them.
Little did I know. The old remedies, kerosene and linseed oil did
nothing good or bad. The vet originally told me to use the IVERMECTIN
for the mites. By the time I used it the mites were severe. After I
treated the bantams with ivermectin, the mites were gone in a week.

Araucana eggs are selling at Whole Foods (upscale) for $3.00 per HALF
DOZEN. That would be .50 per egg.
They say "the blue eggs taste creamier" What bull. They are coming
from a free range farm.
