Two of my roosters got into it today so I cleaned them up. I moved one out of the pen and left the other in with the flock. Worried that he might get pecked because of some wounds I wiped Rooster Booster on his comb, wattles, and back of his head. This isn't the first time I've used it. The first time the bird shook it's head and some got in my eye....AY CARUMBA!! That hurt sooooooo bad. So this time I was careful, washed my hands when I got in the house.

Now two hours later I rub my eye and AY CARUMBA!! That burns!! I was careful not to get it in the roosters eye, but it made me wonder how it feels on an open wound. I don't know if I'll use it again. The stuff is wicked! Any better suggestions?

How did this make it through the censorship criteria for a family website?

I learn new and exciting things from the farm bunch every day, but this picture is going to stick in my head a bit, I think. First thought: Dear God, man - what is it? Second thought: Hey - I bet she can take goat milk baths all week on that.

BLUE KOTE doesn't sting. Neither does Iodine. I use Iodine, best thing in the world!
