This isn't an emergency, just icky. My big Columbian Wyandotte seems to have been pooped upon by her friends. She must have been under the perch at the wrong moment. Her shoulders and back are covered in poop!
Since we're in Wisconsin and don't expect above freezing temperatures for another month or three, I'm reluctant to get her too wet. I took a damp cloth and tried to wash her outer feathers which was only marginally successful. Evening is approaching, so I left her alone to roost in peace. Should I take any action tomorrow? Will a sand bath help her? Any ideas? Thanks. ~~~Cindy in Wisconsin
