How did my rooster get poop on his comb and how do I clean it off?

[NightingaleJen]

Well, I can make a fair guess as to how he ended up with poop on his comb, but should I try to clean it off? Brushing with a dry paper towel didn't do much more than confuse him, but temperatures are also going to drop below freezing tonight, so I'm cautious about using water with gentle soap.

Looks like he’s been kissing too much a55

I think it would be okay to wash it off. The water will dry within a few seconds.

Someone needs to rethink his sleeping spot…

Wet rag.

Got him cleaned up, thanks!

Tell him next time not to stick his beak up places he shouldn’t
