Hey BC, which do you think smells worse? Icthammol or pine tar?

I love ichthammol for human use. It's getting harder to find though, like iodine and mercurochrome (sp?). You know all the stuff they now say is bad for us and will kill us, but didn't.
I hope the blue cote works and helps your roo.

Sorry, but my experience has shown me otherwise. Pine tar not only stopped the pecking, it did so after one treatment.
The chickens don't really ingest it. They run around trying to get it off of their beaks as fast as possible. Before using it I did a search here on BYC and found that others had used it with great success as well.

Nice to know.. I never would have used it, but now if and when I ever have pecking issues.. I will give it a go. thanks.
