so what have you treated her and the rest of the flock with?

My vet told me to use  inject-able ivamectin ORALLY. For bantams 3
drops and for large birds, 5-7 drops. I have had birds autopsied and i
can tell you , that although they are free range, there were no
parasites. dorothy- Hide quoted text -

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

I've never heard of ivamectin being used 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 -

Interesting as mine have leg mites, too and the vaseline
treatments have not really worked.

Interesting. What dosage - ml per kg or pound - did you use? And
precisely what was the Ivamectin brand/strength/formulation, as it may
be that there are various strengths available so knowing what was on the
label of the one you used would be helpful.

I have only used it as an external treatment and what I used was some I
got from a friend who had it for exterior treatment of sheep.

try baby oil on the legs & keep reapplying it at least
weekly. also clean the barn, especially around the perches &
spray with an oil based spray, concentrating on the undersides
of perches, & the walls around the perches (especially cracks)
