You can get mineral oil at Walmart in the pharmacy section. I would try Goo Gone.

I would not use goo gone or any of the highly volitile solvents. Certainly they would likely work, but pretty toxic.

I think Goo Gone is made from the oil of orange peels. I don't think it's toxic at all.

I remember when I got pine sap in my hair, wiping with (a lot of, admittedly) rubbing alcohol worked as it dissolved. Maybe try cornstarch too? I’ve used it to loosen matting before, worth a shot? Maybe rubbing peanut butter will work, that’s how you can get gum out of hair.

OK I just looked at a Goo Gone label. It does contain petroleum distillates along with citrus terpenes (from citrus peels).

Sorry, i was thinking of goof off. That orange stuff is a great idea.

I believe the orange is just a(n ineffective) masking odor.

Actually the orange oil contains limonene which is the main solvent in the orange scented products.

Good Afternoon,
How do you get the glue substance off of a chicken that accidentally got caught in a rat glue traps?
My brother's put down a trap, for these 2 huge rats that are in our yard and they sometimes come into our gallery. They put it down at night since they come out most often at that time. They were supposed to pick it up early in the morning to prevent any chickens or birds from getting trapped but they forgot and a Hen and a baby chick with adult flight feathers got it all on one side of their body?
How to take that glue off their feathers?

Vegetable oil, but they will need a shampoo and blow dry afterwards.
