Duck tape stuck to brooding chicken - help!

[Alycea]

Thank you to everyone for your great advice. It worked!

Equiped with olive oil and scissors, I oiled my left hand and tried rubbing the tape, and thensnipping off with the scissors in my right hand the odd feather that refused to budge. I have to say the patient was fantastic! Because she was sitting on eggs she didn't move at all.

So now she is sans duct tape, possible has the odd bald patch, but seems none the worse for wear.

Again a big thank you for helping me out of a sticky situation.

i had this happen to week old pups. Taped a cardboard baby bumper to the cage..they found a way even blind still to get it stuck to them.I cut what I could off but the rest wore of in about 2 to 3 days time .as it unstuck I'd cut a little more off.it doesn't do well with oil..even a little like on puppy fur.
FYI IT STICKS TO EVERYTHING but what you want it to stay stuck to..things you don't gloms right on.

Be glad it was just duct tape and not Gorilla Tape! That stuff is tough. I used it to tape a diaper to one of my horses' hooves when she got an abscess.
