Did I just make a horrible mistake? I have a hen who the Roo made pretty naked in spots. I thought the other hens had been picking so I separated her for a bit. I thought I'd put Blue Kote on the red areas, but none of our local stores had it, so I went to MFA and was sold this.
I didn't read the label. Because I am an Idiot.
I was surprised how not-blue it was when we daubbed it on and put her back with the flock. Then I (finally) read the label. NO mention of poultry at all! It says not for cats, but I assume that's because they'd lick it. The woman at MFA knew it was for a chicken! I have googled all the ingredients and I don't see anything that is would kill a chicken, in small quantities at least.
Anyway, please tell me I haven't hurt poor Sheba! It didn't seem to bother her and I was pleased to see her redness appears healed almost scar or callous-like, not raw.
If I have to go get her and bathe her tonight, I will.
