Moldy?

[silkie10]

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, it has rained quite a bit here. One day when it started raining I was gone so I couldn't cover up my 2-month-old chicks. When I got home they were all wet and I covered them. After the rain stopped and everyone got dry, Luna (buff polish) started to get some gray/browning on her feathers about 2 or 3 days later. it wasn't all over, only on her tail and shoulders, but I assumed it was mold and I am still sticking to my theory, 3 weeks later. It is still there because I really don't know how to get rid of it. Is it dangerous to her health? What do I do? Thanks for your support and help!

Can I ask where you are keeping your chicks??? Do they have a dry shelter??

It looks like debris to me.....i can’t see where u are thinking mold. If she were mine, I would give her a warm bath in the sink with a little dawn soap or gentle dog shampoo, rinse and blow dry. She may just need some time at the Chicken spa!!!!
Edit: sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in your situation. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

I know it looks that way, but she is kinda wet and it has been there for a long time. plus I have bathed her and she's gotten in the rain since then but I will try bathing her again.

Also, her feathers have looked like they're wet even though it's been dry and it hasn't rained for a while.
