Poo stuck on some chickens’ bottoms

[Three Little Bunnies]

Try to snag them at night. I've dealt well with even the most unruly birds when they are sleepy and calm for the night. Good luck! I've got a few poopy rears that need cleaned up too....

Thanks! I guess I will have to do that at the same time as dealing with the Bumblefoot they all have as well. Chickens aren't as easy as they sound.

I had a Cuckoo Maran that had this issue. I overanalyzed and was sure she was suffering internally and was gonna die of something, but just turns out she has a lot (and I mean A LOT) of butt fluff. I trimmed the feathers down and no more issues. Note: if you’re doing this outside on a windy day make sure you are not standing with the wind blowing at you...butt fluff is very fine and is hard to get out of your mouth...ask me how I know!

Thanks! Good to know.
