So, my silly silkie absolutely does not get off her nest come hell or high water. I try to lift her off the nest but she doesn't always want to poop when I do this and she just covered one of the eggs with the most lovely broody poo you can imagine. I almost puked trying to clean it up. I wiped off the offended egg as gently as I could with a wet paper towel, but im not too sure what else I need to do. Is this egg ruined now? Will the bacteria etc. Spread to the other eggs? I tried to trim her butt feathers too as she was also sitting in her poop, but she is a VICIOUS mama when she's setting and I try not to bother her except when she does this crap. Literally.
