Does Blue Kote EVER come off?

[switters]

I had to put blue kote on one of my chicks that had a wound. It is not stopping her from picking at herself, nor is it stopping other chicks from picking at her. In fact, it seems to be drawing more attention from the other chicks (perhaps because of the color?)

Is there any way to get it off of her?

Those stains hand around for a long time, even on my hands, and yes I wash my hands. I suspect it is the wound rather than the blue kote that is attracting the others. Mine were certainly not attracted to intact skin with blue kote on it.

I used blue coat on my "girls" back in feb/march can't recall exactly but one of them still has blue coat on her feathers (it's a pale purple now.) To stop the picking I separated her till her wound healed and the use of Hot Pick (a hot pepper like spray) each morning (on the feathers not the wound) for a week seemed to curb the picking once she was returned to the flock. Good luck.
