Cleaning a chicken.

[FatherRoo]

Okay, wasn't sure were to put this, so guessed.

Anyways! My pride and joy white crested black.polish hen is still pretty young. Her crown and stuff is JUST turning pink today. And I noticed that when she runs about her ferret cage (Temperary living conditions) her feet turn green. Well, I just use normal pet wipes for that. But today, while I was treating a cut she got on her middle toe, I noticed that her afro, the feathers were green and really rigid. I tried pet wipes but she wont sit still like she does when I clean her feet, so... How to I clean her plummage? Without her getting fussy and all.

You can give her a bath. When my chickens get a poopy butt that's what I do and they don't seem to mind it very much.

Yeah. But its on her head is my problem. The feathers are grean and clumped together a bit.

Eliminate what is making her head dirty?

Might want to post a thread titled 'how to wash your chickens head' in the show forum.
