HELP....Getting yoke off feathers

[chick clique HI]

My orpi has yoke stuck on her plume feathers and a bit in her chest from a cracked egg. She's not happy and I feel for her. What can I use to clean her up?

You can wash her in the sink or "sponge bath" her with plain ol' warm water. Yolk should come away pretty easily.

What is the current temp where you are? If it's a nice day and you don't soak her down she can dry herself - if it is chilly or you do completely immerse her in water for her bath you'll want/need to let her be fairly well dry before putting her back outside.
