Kimbo - the Xeno I used is small dose spot on of ivermectin - we weighed the chickens (was only 2) and dosed them with the appropriate dose as per the box. I'd give you my vet's name and number for your vet but sadly he passed away   Its made by Dechcra if that helps?

I agree with Possum creosote is the way for me.  No red mites at all for over a year and l paint the ends of the perches once a month to discourage them.  Have looked for mites and cant find any.  Creocote does not do the same job for me.  Like the idea of cooking oil, not tried that one.  You need a smallholders number here to get creosote though, which fortunately we have.

I think the spot-ons by weight should be fine - that's how I dose (for lice) and haven't lost a chicken yet. Fortunately mine are big chickens so they fall in the same weight range as cats which saves saving to divide tiny pipettes of liquid.
