Ok I got this big fluffy butted roo, around 9 lb black orpington, 7 months old. His fluffy butt needs a wash. I plan on giving it a trim also. Now for the crazy question...
Will the stubble be too uncomfortable for the harem? Or will the wash be enough? He's going to have a fit LOL but he really needs to practice better hygiene. I've had to trim hen butts and with one of them, I really need to clip it pretty close. But if I trim him that close... sure seems it would be like mating a cactus. And if I don't, he'll likely just get dirty again, won't he? Or should I just wash him pretty regularly?
I know I'm laughing here but I'm seriously asking. When I got chickens I never imagined I'd be stressing over bathing one's rear. Or even that I would be bathing chicken rears.
(I told my friend what I was doing and she says "You know what?" I go, "what?" She says, "Chicken butt!" and nearly hurts herself laughing. I need better friends.)
