Clairbear Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 After just realising my chooks have lice I have been to Pets At Home and have found some Anti-Parasite Spot On that is for large birds (i.e. Parrots). It contains Ivermectin so I've treated both my girls with a pipette each as suggested for parrots. Anyone else used this? Also how long should I not eat their eggs for? All your help is much appreciated by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I can't help as I haven't used that one. However, I have seen general info on ivermectin in the FAQ. Here's the link. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I use Xeno 200 which also contains Ivermectin. Although it's *not licenced for use on poultry in the UK* it is recommended by certain vets. There is an egg withdrawal period of 7 days but I have never adhered to that and have come to no harm. Ivermectin is used for worm control in third world countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
