Lifetime egg withdrawal from blu kote?

[Onefowlwoman]

I want to preface this by saying how absolutely awful I feel after seeing this post on Facebook. My story is that I picked up chicks from Meyer hatchery on March 23rd 2026. One of my Brahmas was having a case of poopy butt and I wanted a way to be able to distinguish her from the others so I sprayed blue kote on her. I had no idea how much would come out and was worried when so much was on her. Now it’s 2am and I just found this post on Facebook and comments say there is a lifetime egg withdrawal once blu kote is used because it is a known carcinogen. Did I just ruin this gals life? Have I know contaminated all the others (10 total) since they all huddle together. Please I need some feedback, this is my first post. Thank you in advance to any replies.

Hi there! Welcome to the forums! First off, Facebook is full of all kinds of misinformation. Don't believe anything you read there. Your chickens will be just fine. And you definitely haven't ruined any of their lives. I've been fortunate enough to not have had to use blu kote on my hens. I did a quick search for blu kote and found a thread with a lot of others experiences using it on their animals. Hope this is helpful to you.

No, of course not. That's silly.
It's Facebook. it's not known for truth or accuracy.
