Chicken has dried mud on her back.

[KMurphyVT]

Hello,
My fully grown/feathered girl has mud dried on her back with some feathers clumped together. We live in VT and the temp has been below zero a couple of days. She’s eating and laying and doesn’t seem bothered by it. Will she be able to take care of this on her own or do I need to give her a bath?
Thank you,
Kelly

You could use a damp towel, see if that helps.
