I have 5 Buff Orpingtons, 1- roo and 4 girls.
The roo has clean looking behind but 2 of the girls have kind of matted and dirty vent areas.
I have picked each one up and tried to spray the areas with flea and tick spray.
This hasn't produced any cleaner behinds. Can or should you give a chicken a dip type bath as you might would give a dog? Could you dip them up past the vent area to clen this area?
I haven't noticed any worsm or insect movement in this area....just matted and dirty.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
