Best way to get poop off?

[HyperCello]

Looks like one of my chicks got pooped on by a sister...LOL! She has a poop stuck to her wing. What is the best way to clean it off? She is 3 days old....thanks!

Water?

Damp paper towel, wash cloth, q-tip all will work and not much water needed so that way she doesn't chill.

Thank you! I didn't want to get her completely wet. I will try with a qtip and some warm water.

If I ever have a chick with poopy butt I usually let warm water run on the faucet and stick the chicks butt in the water flow and work at pulling the poop off. Once finished wipe with paper towel and done.

I put warm water into a bowl, take a washcloth, soak the end of the washcloth in the water, soak the poo. Chicken poop, like most bird poop I've encountered (I'm sure there are exceptions!), it pretty water soluble.

If it's stuck on, like their butt, then I pinch the poop using the warm, wet, washcloth to get it nice and wet. Repeat soaking the washcloth and wetting the poop, eventually the poop wipes right away or dissolves.
