I’ve had poopy butt problems before and while this always worked for me and I was always careful when doing it I understand how some may find this way a little off? But anyways what I do is wet the area with soap and water then I take a pair of scissors and snip the wet areas off, I’ve tried this without the soap and water and it still works but I found leaving both on and cutting then washing it off works somehow, just make sure to be careful with the scissors and make sure they’re somewhat sharp or it’ll be a bit hard.
It's not noticeable when she's standing, because there's just SO much fluff everywhere, but I noticed that when I pick her up and hold her with my hands under her, I can feel a strange crunchy texture between her legs. I flipped her upside down and saw that the feathers on her underside between her legs are a darker brown than her normal buff color, and, even though they are completely dry, they are clumpy and crunchy. It looks like she got wet or muddy at some point, and they dried up clumpy. Their run is covered with a thick layer of wood chips and fall leaves and never gets muddy, so I don't know where she found mud, but her and her buddies do like digging craters down to the soil, so who knows... I flipped the other ones over and they all look clean and fluffy. She's the only crunchy one. Given that she also has the poopiest butt, does that mean she's slacking on her self care and need help? Does this tip the scale from trim to bathe now that she has other hygienic issues as well? Or should I just let the underside be?
