Do you have a washcloth or something softer?

On his breast? Does it look like on humans? I think he actually has some feathers on his breast...

It does look just like it does on humans and the breast because its the biggest part so your not searching a wiggling rooster

Ok, thank you flockincrazy.

Sure.

How do i clean their faces? If i put a larger pan of water out, do you think they'll go in it?

 

[aBirdNerd]

You can put their feed in the water, then they will go for the food and get wet
Edit-I use this frequently cuz my chicks are so messy lol

Off topic, what's up with my hen that i have had, who has red earlobes? Today i looked at her and she had a white earlobe. I looked at a photo to confirm it should be red, and later looked at her again. It was red. Maaaaaybe it had food on it? Is there any chance her earlobe actually changed color?
Today was the first time she's seen chickens since almost 2 mos ago.

It's kinda like mood rings when they are mad it will be red and when they are calm they will be white I also notice this in the waddles and the combs

Oh! Well, ellis's are always red. So maybe she's opposite? But good to know. I couldn't see how i imagined that. And her food isn't that white. Thank you

sometimes it depends on the chicken
