Hi from SE Iowa!

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 

Hello everyone, I'm hoping some of you more experienced chicken keepers can give me some advice.  One of my polish hens got a bit tangled in a fly strip, and I'm trying to find a safe product to remove the leftover glue on her wing.  Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

Thank you, I hope so.  She's not having any problems at all, but I would feel better just getting it off.

WelcometoBYC.gif. You should try the emergency and illness section to see if anyone else has had to deal with this and what they used to remove glue.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Hello and welcome to BYC frow.gif I had a chick catch himself with a fly strip once. We didn't do anything and the glue came off by itself. But ask in the Emergencies/Diseases section if you want to help.

Thank you.  She seems to be totally fine so I guess I'll just keep an eye on her for awhile.

Howdy from Kansas and welcome-byc.gif!  Sorry, no advice on the glue other than time...should just wear off.  Best of luck to you!
