I don't have any advice on your chic, but you can get it off your fingers and probably the sink with a little bit of Gin. I've obviously had one of those accidents too! I had a martini (Bombay Sapphire FWIW) in front of me at the time and figured it was worth a try. Rubbed some on my thumb...

Well, just to update everyone that tried to help us... He passed away today at around 4:00 pm (in my arms). I still don't know what really happened - I never found anything obvious. He was such a cool and beautiful bird... I'm very upset by this. I know it's "just a chicken" but I did...

Thanks for responding. I did start giving him baby aspirin last night. I agree with you about the antibiotics, but was at a loss about what else to try (and thinking he may be dying). I know they are way overused in general. I am new to chickens and his behavior had me questioning whether he...
