Some chicken wounds are conveniently located.
And then there are the ones that make you look at a bandage and laugh.
Curicyn® Wound Care Clay is a thick, stay-put wound care formula for chickens and other animals. Apply it directly to wounds, pecking injuries, scrapes, punctures, irritated skin, burns, and other difficult-to-bandage areas to create a protective barrier while supporting the healing process.
It won't drip or melt, doesn't require mixing, and can be reapplied right where you need it.
Basically, when wrapping the chicken isn't happening, there's clay.
Curicyn Wound Care Clay combines refined colloidal clay with purified anolyte, aloe, vegetable oil, hypochlorous acid, and other ingredients in a thick formula designed to cover difficult-to-bandage wounds.
Curicyn recommends it for chickens and other animals and lists uses including:
The formula is non-stinging, antibiotic-free, steroid-free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and pH-balanced.
Purified Anolyte 45%, Refined Colloidal Clay 26%, Aloe 14%, Vegetable Oil 14%, Hypochlorous Acid <1%, Potassium Iodide <1%, Proprietary Carrier <1%, Inactive Ingredients <1%.
Remove excess feathers, debris, and dirt from the affected area. Trim feathers around the area if necessary.
Apply a liberal amount of Curicyn Wound Care Clay directly to the affected area, creating a protective barrier. Bandage if needed.
Reapply when the clay becomes dry or is no longer visibly present. Continue reapplying as necessary while the area heals. Curicyn notes that the product works best when freshly applied.
For animal use only and external use only. Avoid applying potentially contagious material with bare hands. Use gloves or an applicator instead.
Deep or serious wounds, uncontrolled bleeding, significant swelling, foul odor, worsening infection, or a bird whose overall condition is declining warrant veterinary attention.
Some wounds need a spray.
Some need a bandage.
And some are attached to a chicken who has absolutely no intention of cooperating with either.
That's where the clay earns its keep.
