poop on new feathers?...

[frizzleman74]

my leghorn is starting to feather out and currently has her waddle and wing feathers growing in! However, she is in a brooder with 10 other chicks and there is poop on her new pretty white feathers, should i clean it off or will it go away? WHen i clean it i mess up the feathers, is it better to just let the feathers grow out and the poop will clear off? thanks

It should go away as she gets older, I wouldn't clean her. Is there enough room in the brooder... why is she being pooped on?

yes there is plenty of room but i guess she;s just the bird that always sits down while her friend poops on her by accident, she also lies down in poop
