troyca Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Does any one use this on their hens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Nooooo, partly because it isn't licensed for poultry, partly because I prefer natural pest prevention and partly because I started keeping chickens so I knew what went into their eggs and Frontline doesn't appeal to me lol. Hopefully someone who has used it will be along soon to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Its not licenced for poultry but some vets do prescribe the spray for chickens and some breeders swear by it You can only get the spray from vets, the spot on's are not recommended for chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Its not licenced for poultry but some vets do prescribe the spray for chickens and some breeders swear by it You can only get the spray from vets, the spot on's are not recommended for chooks and I am sure I have read on here it requires egg withdrawal as well.

Chucky Mama Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Some vets prescribe the spray it if a chicken has a problem with parasites but it is not licensed so they strictly speaking should only prescribe it if there is no licensed suitable alternative and yes there is an egg withdrawal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I used the spot on when I was riddled with red mite and it worked as I had a bird about to die on me. It worked but I'm not going to say I recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I used the cat spot version when we had lice as that was all I could get at short notice...and the chooks hadn't started laying at that point I don't think, so no egg withdrawal necessary....... never had a problem since either so never had to repeat the experience One tiny drop of the stuff on the neck & tip of tail each & the container dropped in the poo tray for good measure for a day or so..............
