Tylan & Ivermectin & Flubevet
« on: June 18, 2018, 09:05:01 am »
Hello I have had a few chickens with respiratory problems so they have all had Tylan added to water drinkers for about 4 days.  I have also now got my marriages wormer food ready to give. Is this ok to use after antibiotics? Also I would like to treat all with Ivermectin as some have scaly legs! But obviously do not want to overdose them all on medicines. I have treated some with vaseline/sudacream on their legs & scaly leg spray from my garden centre. It's all happening at once!! I always use D. Earth powder too but am now worried the dust caused the respiratory problems. Thanks for any advice...

Ivermectic will surely also treat any worms?

A bit of oil on grain or pellets sticks down D.E. or any other powder s uppliments.

Ivermectin can be used to worm. I believe it doesn’t affect tapeworm.

I use ivermectin if I see redmite in the coop, as a spot on, like frontline for dogs.
To get rid of scaly leg, I get some vegetable oil in a jar and every night I dip their legs in it for a minute each leg, this suffocates the mite and makes the scales on the leg all soft and supple, which then the horrible lumps fall off, leaving the leg lovely and clean.
I don't often worm in their feed only if they start gapping, as I was told that regular worming upsets the insides, making them more likely to get ill.
I've had chickens for over 15 years and probably only worked about 1 a year and the oldest hen I've had was rusty and she lived for 9 years.

Tylan to water is a poor substitute for injectable 200.  I found it pretty useless.  Tylan 200 is good on a 3 day system.


I hardly worm - mine are outside and most issues in hens are mycoplasma. Anything 'mectin' is a harsh chemical and I wouldn't want to consume eggs after that treatment for some time.  Better off Flubevet.


DE is not a risk unless consumed in vast amounts. So no worries about that.
