I sprayed my cockerel with alcohol...BY ACCIDENT!

Yeah, I know. Something you're like...'what?!' about. Here's what happened. I was bad, and didn't label my spray bottles. My dad has one he puts pure alcohol in (not the rubbing kind), and I have one that I mix Permectrin II in for mites. The cockerel I recently got had a little bit of mites so I sprayed some stuff on him. Thing is, I grabbed the alcohol bottle instead of the Permectrin II bottle! I sprayed his tail, around his vent, wings, and back. I didn't like soak him...about six sprays total. He kinda picked at his feathers a bit, then went up to roost with the females. Um, it won't hurt him, right?

Well I guess it could be argued that if the alcohol is that pure it will probably evaporate... or he'll want porkrinds and pretzles..

No problem. It will evaporate quickly. As long as you didn't get it in his eyes you're fine.

Oh my!

Probabably not a problem, since it evaporates, too.

But what a wicked hangover!

After I sprayed him I was like..."This stuff has never smelled before..." And then I was like uh oh. xD
