My chick’s feathers are sticking together. What do i do??

[mia12]

hello there! I’m a little worried because my 2 day old chick got covered in egg yolk. Long story short the mama hen stepped and cracked an egg and her baby chick wandered in it! so now the baby chick looks like she she just hatched with her feathers smoothed out around her body, however her head is all nice and fluffy! it’s cute but i’m concerned that it will lead her to not walk or do other things! what can i do to un-stick her feathers so they can be nice and fluffy?? THANK YOU!!

Oh no! What a mess! I've had to bathe day old chicks before. Just make it quick, keep the baby warm, and blow dry!

How bad is it, pics would show. But, a bath would probably work, it usually isn’t serious.
