Putting a drop of it on the back of their neck?

Are you putting the water mix as well as a drop on the bird together, or are they your individual options you use?

Hi KB,If you can be bothered catching up each bird then place a drop or two of straight moxy on the skin under under the feathers on the back of the neck.If that is not possible then dose the whole flock with 5ml to a litre of water for 2 or 3 days. Cheers Craig

If its the stuff from here its the oral form.Best used orally in either water or direct in crop or direct in beak then lastly direct on skin.One of these options only at the recommend dosage at a time.Then best followed up two weeks later. For you pick your coolest days with no rain and dose for two days. If its really hot any worming can be risky. In these cases if I need to dose, I crop drench or if only doing a few birds direct in beak.
