sari Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I've just stumbled back up the garden path...This morning I noticed that Flo was limping slightly, just a little. A couple of weeks ago I put in some IKEA shoe racks, logs and natural branches to enrich the WIR, and they love them. SO I wondered if she had a sore patch, from too much exploring and had a look this afternoon. One of her feet felt a little warmer than the other, but I couldn't see anything ( apart from a nicely squished curry poo ) I thought it wouldn't hurt to spray a bit of purple spray on, just in case, What a disaster! My right hand is purple.I mean really purple ....and there is a fetching mist of purple up my left wrist. Flo doesn't like being held..still a bit nervy....and I was unsighted..so I was spraying back to front..ie on my hand, and then she was wriggling..oh dear, what a juggins. Wait til the OH gets home! AT least she didn't poo on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I learned very quickly not to apply purple spray when wearing a brand new Per Una blouse. White of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I learned very quickly not to apply purple spray when wearing a brand new Per Una blouse. White of course. I can't believe that it missed my cardi..only a F+F cheapie...but honestly, at my age....I just hope it was worth it! I'm assuming Flo has sprained it carting around the upper levels!

Redwing Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I always perch mine on a branch then blast them without touching them If its a small area I blast the purple spray in to a mug and dip a cotton bud in it and apply it using that Latex gloves are wonderful things if you own hens, I get through loads a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Just be grateful it wasn't the anti-peck spray - then you would reek as well. Hope she feels better after your efforts anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Still at least you missed getting the curry poo on her foot all over you, I'd have managed that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 the stupid thing is, I'd just taken a plastic glove off....can't have latex as my youngest is a bit sensitive, not allergic, but irritates her eczema, so we avoid just in case..but back to topic...I'd picked up a few curry poos etc, taken off the glove, and decided to spray. What a twit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I always perch mine on a branch then blast them without touching them Do they keep still? If its a small area I blast the purple spray in to a mug and dip a cotton bud in it and apply it using that That's a good idea, I must remember that Latex gloves are wonderful things if you own hens, I get through loads a week I have missed and sprayed the eglu in the past but as it is it didn't matter too much Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
