Silkie with poo on feathers

[NightFury06]

I didn’t quite know where to put this?!
Anyway, my silkie (being tiny) managed to find her way under the behind of one of my other girls, and now she has a poop on her back!
I’m not entirely sure how to clean it off - it’s not her own vent area, so I don’t really want to just trim it. She is very prone to stress too, as we’ve only just got her.
What would you recommend?

Thank you very much!

I would use a damp micro fibre cloth with one person holding her and the other gently cleaning the poop off.

You might need several cleanings.

Provide a very dry dust/sand bath so she will be able to clean herself too.

Thank you, I didn’t know whether I should leave them!

Thank you, I’ll try this!
