blue kote advice
Molly
I was just getting around to ordering some Blue Kote to cover some pecked heads. Is there anyone that knows the best way to apply this? The two chickens that need it are very skittish so they won't like the application so I'd think doing it quickly (aerosol) would be best. However, I'm afraid of spraying so close to their eyes so maybe just hold on tight and daubbing it on would be best. Advice? Also, I've been trying to find this locally and can't. Does anyone know where to find it? Is it with poultry or equine stuff?
Thanks for helping.

You can find Blue Kote at Farm & Fleet in Verona. It is with the horse/cow treatments. I would recommend the dabber application. If you put a towel around the chicken to keep her stable, that will help towards accurate application. The spray is messy and blue kote does stain.
