What did you use?
Well, I first used Johnson's baby shampoo so I could really scrub and not worry about getting it in her eyes. Then I used Tide with bleach alternative and then a specialized dog shampoo for white dogs. Still, a portion of her crest is yellowed. Her crest is large and gets dunked in the water and then dragged in the dirt daily. Maybe I am expecting too much! ha Tracey suggested bluing shampoo for horses. I have some in my tack room, so I will try that today. Any other suggestions!

If that's the case then her feathers might be just yellowed by the sun and/or permanently stained...If the Tide & the whitening shampoo didn't do it, I don't know what will! Whatever else you try, let it soak for at least 5+ minutes. I've also used a toothbrush, brushing with the direction of the feather, to really get at individually stained feathers. But they can get to the point where nothing less than growing a new feather will take all of the stains away. Also keep in mind that it will look a lot more white when it's completely dry than it does when it's still wet! And that she probably looks a lot better than you think she does.

Gilda, Miss Prissy is my black rosecomb hen. On the Delmarva thread, Erin asked me how Miss Prissy did at the show (like place wise). Tracey thought I meant that Miss Prissy, our BYC moderator on here, was at the show!!!
She was very confused, maybe a little blonde moment?
