read the instructions mix i 25g pack in 5 litres of water i know all about diping the birds in it but i think its a bit cold to be doing this and was wondering if you could just spray the birds individualy as you would with other products and will it have the same effect as dipping

ps my birds dont have any lice that i can see but i did notice quill mite on the ones with white feathers

[Henrik]

If your worried about your hands getting cold use warm water

[TheHigg]

:emoticon-0140-rofl: warm water it shall be then doo you not think it is a bit cold for the birds as in sitting in the loft trying to dry out

[paddymac]

I would do it now before it really gets cold and using the warm water will help it to soak into the birds a lot better than using cold water

[Guest bigda]

dont see why you would want to uses this product, it cant do any more than ivermectin would

do this is the type of stuff framers once used as a dip, but failed in what it said on the tin, they moved onto ivermectin 5% a cheaper method would be the use of the powder form, but the best is ivermectin if its the farmers choice thats good enough for me

A while since I've had this [think it's off the market now] but seem to remember that the dip is half the contents, and into lukewarm water.

[just ask me]

Is their a possibility that the use of Ivermectin and YBS be related as it comes to mind that both appeared about the same time. Just throwing something in the pot to get the brain cells working.

I think YBS and Darkness system are linked, England we getting YBS well before Scotland, and For me the first time we tried the Darkness we got YBS and every year after, but the last 3 - 4 years we haven't done it, we still got it but it was more subtle and easier to control, this year we didn't get it at all.

We were at the North Ayrshire moot on Saturday and Gerry Clements said he has had YBS every year since 1994 then later told us he has been doing the darkness system since 1994!

Hi Walter,I use it on the feed,gets rid of worms,at the minute I scrape the loft floor and add it to the loft white,I'm going on to deep litter later on so it will be added to that.Do a search Walter,there's loads of info.No need to get a lot,it does go a long way.I have a couple of mates who use it regular.Ideal for getting rid of various nasties,snails,ants etc.

Never tried it in the bath ?

I don't want to denigrate the use of this product but I suggest you check out the safety recommendations on Wikipedia as I certainly would not use it where their is the possibility of contracting silicosis. However each to their own and chickens don't have to race or use their lungs apart from breathing. They also only have a life span of 6 years.
