Not inside a well built coop, everyone is locked inside until spring or until I can figure out a fencing system as there is a concrete barn foundation 4" below the grassbed.

Ok thanks I'll try and grab some this weekend.Killerbunny wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 12:50 pmHow far out of date is it. I would still use up to 6 months after. TSC version is Blue Lotion, a dab on found in the horse aisle.

Re: Hen with hole in neck :/
It's an antiseptic spray that stains everything dark purple so other birds don't see the wound and pick at it. I've only used it once and it worked well. Mines expired a year ago but I'd use it in a pinch as better than nothing. I bought this at Ritchie's in Elmvale. Your welcome to it if you'd like. I'm just around the corner. Pm me

It's just Blue Lotion in a spray, it's really good! Don't wear anything you're fond of when you use it! It also stops the others pecking at the wound.

Surgical gloves are a good way to protect your hands, and still feel what you are doing.

Vetericyn is basically water, bleach, salts and baking soda.
Blu-Kote is gentian violet, salts, lye, alcohol and coal tar.
