grasshopper30 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I used some of this stuff today. I've never smelt anything so repulsive in my life. Only the French could make something smell that bad. They should have sprayed the Germans with this stuff in 1914 and it would have saved millions of deaths. I'd prefer the smell of my own flesh burning than this stuff. It lingers in the air, on your clothes and skin. My recommendations for use (As there are no instruction on the tin, what is on the tin is in French, I had it translated but it tells you nothing usefull) 1) Pick a location to which you will never have to visit for a good few millenium 2) Wear disposable gloves, clothes, hair and skin 3) Tell your chickens how much you love them and this is the last resort 4) Run yourself a boiling hot bath, aquire some concentrated acid, a diamond coated scrubbing device and some strong perfume/colonge 5) Good luck!

Hen Watch Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Blimey......... That sounds like all out chemical warfare. I was considerding getting some but the problem stopped so I am saved from this temporarily. Have heard it works well though. Perhaps you can give us a progress report on it's effectiveness after all that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 It does smell terrible.....but it works, so it is a price worth paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 3) Tell your chickens how much you love them and this is the last resort I do just as well it works! also remember to do it after the guests have gone and not just before they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffball Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 what does it treat the chooks for? whatever it is it sure sounds bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 what does it treat the chooks for? It's used as an anti peck spray for when you get feather pulling problems - it tastes so awful the offender soon gets the message that feathers dont taste nice any more - works a treat but most certainly a last resort !!

Lydia Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Am I the only one for whom Ukadex doesn't work? Tried it and the result is that me and the pecked hen stink and the other 3 "bully" hens continue to peck her! Perhaps mine like the taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have you tried Bumper bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ukadex didn't work for me either. It was the very last resort having tried isolating the bully, anti peck spray and a bumper bit. I had to rehome her in the end as she was stripping the feathers off everything that moved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
