HOW TO WORM CHICKENS/TREATING INTERNAL&EXTERNAL PARASITES in POULTRY

[@JesusNameHomeMinistries]

Why do an egg withdrawal when humans use ivermectin too?

[@Qplus-tc5hh]

That's just what the label says.

[@jenkemjones68]

Barely any parts per million of the ivermectin reaches the eggs after traveling through the chicken's kidneys etc..Impossible for a human to even get an OD of Ivermectin from eating a treated chicken.A big chicken is only 5-6 lbs.

[@ladeene06]

I just want to thank you for sharing this information. My math is the pits...always has been. Seems all the other information I've come across might as well be in code or something...yes, Im aware its probably just me. But thank you for sharing and showing how this has worked for you and your birds. This is the 3rd time in 2 years I've referenced this particular video so I just wanted to thank you. My chickens thank you too! 🙏🏻

I personally love the pour-on as well and totally agree. You must do what's right for YOUR farm. I also live in an climate that is humid and very damp in the spring & fall, so parasites can be an issue. We try to choose breeds that are more resistant, but they are still creatures that need care. Mites are a real nuisance for all of our livestock. The humidity in the hay barn over the summer is just a breeding ground. Last year the entire country had an oak mite explosion and we did not escape it... including myself. And you know what finally killed them? You guessed it, pour on. Keeping the health of the animal in mind, with proper feeding and preventatives, is great, but if I do not address the parasites I know are here, to comply with someone else's protocol or die by an 'all natural' label, it's not only foolish, but neglectful. My livestock will certainly not thrive, but they may also die. Not to mention, the alternative is what? Not raising my own food? Buying from factories? No. If using a chemical deformer is needed, use it. If you don't need it, don't use it. But just like gardening or really anything in life, we must educate ourselves to our own unique situation and solve problems from that point. The other reason I love pour on is that it does double duty with very easy, accurate, intentional dosing. It's just part of our routine welcoming Spring & bedding down for Winter (when parasites are doing the exact same thing). One other, almost wives tale, worm on a full moon when parasites are most active. If you need to repeat, new moon. If it's good enough for the Amish & farmer's almanac, it's good enough for me. 😆 And do it on an empty stomach.

[@TT3TT3]

Thanks!🎉 Just got the pour on in the mail - will be administering the drops today .Was happy to watch your video as it's my first time.

[@donnastormer9652]

Another good reason to use ivermectin in the fall is because typically your chicken start molting around August and if you give them safeguard during their molt, the newly formed feathers will come in deformed sometimes but ivermectin does not cause that problem so I like to use ivermectin in the fall and safeguard in the spring. Something that I do when I worm my chickens as I wait until they are roosting after dark, it’s a lot easier to catch them that way they are so much more quiet and then I mark each one I’ve treated by putting a little dab of flour on their feathers so I can see who I have wormed. They shake it off by the morning.

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

I put the drops on their vent. It worked great. It got rid of scaly leg mites.

[@MandyMCarpenter]

I’m so glad to have found you. I love your voice.

[@BrettRichardsonJr]

Can you transfer the weight into pounds for me. I have some bantam chickens which are pretty small thank you

[@hmartymarty3609]

hello I used this on my chickens and it worked perfectly. You mentioned your husband uses it on your dogs and he knows the dosages. I have a 80 pound dog. Do you think you could share the dosage information with me. It would be much appreciated. thank you.

[@donnastormer9652]

What type of lime do you use in the bedding?I couldn’t understand you. Thank you so much for your video. The dosage was hugely. Helpful to me.. I have just been using cattle injectable, but I think I will try the spot on stuff..

[@nyambipasima6273]

Great information. Thank you madam. Pls at what dose can Ivermectin be used on 1 month old broilers? Can it be used same way by dropping?

[@SM-vo3fi]

So, how do you treat tape worms?

[@tylerstrong1776]

Totally agree with you 1000 percent. Couldn't have said it better myself so thank you so much for this video. Look forward to any future videos you make as well. I have 22 chickens. 8 egg laying hens and the rest are silkies lol. I just noticed a spaghetti noodle like worm in my chickens poop today and all I seen was one thankfully but one is one too many bc I'm sure the others have them as well so I need something to get rid of them and I've had no luck with diatomaceous earthnfood grade in the past with worms or lice and mites so I'd like to get something that I know will work and I have plenty of eggs put back so I'll be fine during the withdrawal period.

[@SuperVviikkttoorr]

Hi Leslie. What is the egg withdrawal or if there is any at all? Thanks Viktor.

[@abrieleshiban9752]

@THE FOURTEEN ACRES Do you have a recommendation dosage for a single 3 1/2 lb silkie hen ?? No vets in my area work on chickens or birds.. (pour on ivermectin ) specifically . Shes 2 1/2 yrs old and never been sick until now..

[@matthewcornelison4786]

Great information

[@MandyMCarpenter]

How many days for egg withdrawal please. Thanks

[@libbyjameson1275]

I have a chicken that has worms. I treated her once a week ago with 5 drops. How often can I treat her? Please, and thank you for your reply

[@gapey]

I've used ivermectin. It works well and not too difficult to administer. The stuff you put in the water is a little easier though. Used Safeguard Aquasol for the last treatment and that worked well. It's not easy to find and if you do find it you have to buy a whole bunch. I have a local vet that will prescribe just as much as is needed for your flock so that makes it easy.

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

Nice. What about external parasites?

[@gapey]

@@THEFOURTEENACRES I have not noticed any but would definitely go with Ivermictin if I did. Round worm seems to be my biggest issue here.

[@gapey]

@@THEFOURTEENACRES oh oops it’s actually Eprinex pour on that I’ve used for external parasites. Have you used that? Ivermectin is hard to find these days unfortunately.

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

@@gapey We’ve only used Ivermectin and we’ve had great luck with it

[@lisaramdass4382]

Can you use this on ducks as well?

[@lovingit1538]

[@janetmcnutt4994]

Where can you get this Ivermectin? I have only 3 hens.

[@topcat700]

thank you for your video. I am new to chickening and my girls are coming in two weeks. One question. are you using the pour on as it comes or do you dilute it with water or something?

[@gilliansaddington7624]

Could you please spell the medication. I want to be sure to get the right product. Many thanks….very helpful. I personally don’t believe in holistic medication. When you have a problem you should deal with it instead of playing around with products that likely won’t work.

[@deedeeholbrook5308]

Help! We have tapeworms that are not leaving! We’ve used everything that says it helps tapeworms as well as some things that are not approved! We’re desperate, and have been dealing with this for months. Any tips would be appreciated!

[@marialeach8960]

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

Tractor Supply or your local feed store

[@marialeach8960]

@@THEFOURTEENACRES Thank you! Also, I watched your video twice. Now did you say you only treat your chickens one time with no followup treatment (like a few days later or a couple of weeks later). Is that correct, and how does one know that they don't need a followup treatment? Again, thank you so much for your time.

Can you also treat Ducks, Turkeys?

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

Yes. Same dosage. One drop per 500 grams of body weight

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

You’re welcome! Yes. One drop per pound. As long as they’re fully feathered, I treat them

God bless you for so thoroughly going over this information. And for answering the other comments! Thank you. 👍

[@brittney7662]

When your treating for poultry lice, will you have to re treat after a couple weeks? Does it kill the eggs also? Thank you!

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

It is recommended to treat again 7 days, later but we never have. I think if you were having a bad infestation it would be a good idea

[@sarahleehazel24]

Is there an egg withdrawal period after administration?

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

Yes. 7 days. I explain in the video that’s why I choose to do it in the Fall. Egg numbers are down anyway

[@carolphung2590]

Since there is a 7 days egg withdrawal period after you treat your chickens, what can you do with the eggs. Can you feed it back to the chickens or just compost them. Thank you!

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

We personally still eat the eggs. If you are concerned about potentially consuming the Ivermectin, you wouldn’t want to feed the eggs back to your hens. You could always feed them to your dogs or other livestock.

[@frugalmomofmany]

Many humans take ivermectin as a cancer treatment. It won't hurt you at that level, but I personally would never sell them to someone else because that needs to be their decision if it bothers them.

[@davidhart8575]

What are your thoughts on using diatomaceous earth for internal parasites

[@THEFOURTEENACRES]

I don’t use DE at all with my chickens. It can be very irritating to their respiratory tracts. I know a lot of chicken owners like to use it though.
