Does anyone pluck their Polish's face feathers? My girl can't see!

[sally4500]

I have 3 month old white crested Polish who needs her facial feathers cut or plucked. She bumps into things, and sometimes can't find her flock-mates. Sometimes she does not even know when I am behind her. Not good if there were a predator close by. Her eyes are bright and don't look like there is anything wrong with them, so it must be the feathers.

Should I cut or pluck? Is there a certain way to do it? I don't want to slip!!

I've read posts on here about cutting, but never plucking.

Plucking can lead to open sores and possible infection. Trimming is SOOOO less stressful for everyone involved.

Never ever pluck-I do a facial trim My 1 yr olds poof is so big-I trim around her eyes I dont cant how bad it truly looks on her as much as I care about her safety

You can use hair gel too to keep it out of their eyes
