Note to self: Blu-Kote stains....it stains everything it comes into contact with, especially your skin! :-)
I went out today to give Chanel another treatment with the Blu-Kote in hopes of eliminating the others from picking her neck feathers. All went well with catching her and getting her up onto the perch, then I went to spray her and at that very instant, she decided to move. The end result? The entire palm of my right hand was sprayed with Blu-Kote, a brilliant, indigo blue was now staining my hand. What is life if one cannot laugh at one's self???? I instantly thought, "Oh no, I have a career fair to go to tomorrow. How can I shake people's hands when mine is dyed brilliant blue????!!!!" I had to laugh....the adventures of chicken keeping are never ending.
I am now happy to share the REMEDY for a Blu-Kote stained hand.....a toothbrush and copious amounts of baking soda mixed with hydrogen peroxide.
Note to self: Hydrogen Peroxide stains....or rather bleaches everything white. A white hand is better than I blue hand I suppose. ... :-)
Oh, in case I didn't write it before.....chickens love (LOVE!) Mealworm Frenzy by Happy Hen Treats.... I could have done an advertisement for them today and taken a picture; my bantams fly up to my hand and stick their entire bodies into the bag of freeze-dried mealworms and gorge themselves before I can even get my hand in there to throw some to the standard hens.
