NEED ADVICE: (how) do i clean poop stains off mail ordered pullet?

[peggythechicken]

I cant get a pic of this until tomorrow because they are roosting in a hard to get to spot but i got three 15 week old pullets in the mail today. one of them (whitings true blue) must have flapped around quite a bit in her box because she has some poop stains on the back of her neck and top of her tail feathers. can she preen herself clean or will she need help? its cold where i am bouncing a bit above and a bit below freezing. should i do nothing? something? advice please

In my experience they can clean themselves well enough if you are patient. It might not be pretty until then but shouldn't cause any harm!

Thank you for the help!

If it's just on the feathers, I imagine her daily dust bath and preening would sort that out eventually?

I would leave her to clean herself off eventually. My experience with shipped pullets is that they are stressed and terrified enough from shipping (with other pullets they don't even know).
