In the Brooder
I have an EE whose tail feathers face downward. She started laying two weeks ago and up until the last two eggs they were clean. now they are dirty. I checked her today and notice poop stuck on her butt. Should I trim off the tail feathers? as I think they're getting in the way? or what? Here's a picture of Anne Bolyn so you can see her rumpless butt.
