Ivermectin treatment on chicks

[tuffers]

Hi there

Can anyone advise from what age I can put ivermectin on chicks. I read on another thread on the forum that you should put it on the breeding pair before putting them in the breeding cage and then dab a drop on the chicks when ringing them. Is it safe to put it on a chick that small? If so how much?

Thanks for your help

It shouldn't be put on the chicks until they are 4 weeks old minimum and neither on the parents while the chicks are under 4 weeks :-)
