Applying Terramycin Eye Ointment? Good Luck!!!

[jmc]

Here's how it goes.

I wrap my baby in a towel. I call her my 'Dottie Burrito'!

Then attempt to get the incredibly flexible neck (with head attached) to remain still while you POKE your chicken in the eye in a desperate attempt to get the stuff into the right place. (And NOT onto her wattles, cheeks and comb, which you did in the three previous tries)

If any ointment actually gets into the eye by the time the 15.00 tube is empty (I'm being sarcastic), you win a prize--it'll all be in your lap

I guess there is no really sure-fire way to apply T E ointment........

Can you drape the towel over the whole chicken - head included, just leaving the face exposed?

I know this is an old thread but once applied in the eye do you need to rub it in?
