What do you use to spot clean your chickens?

[rivers2011]

I'm taking one of my chickens on the bus tomorrow (we're going to see a vet) and was wondering what other people do to spot clean chickens.
She has injured feet so she likes to lie down a lot in her miniature run. Unfortunately, she'll often end up on top of poop and when she was sitting on my shoulder earlier today I noticed the strong smell of that poop on her feathers. I've already given her two baths since Saturday, so I don't want to stress her out by giving her yet another one but I want that smell gone.
Would rubbing alcohol too harsh?

Yes that can be a bit harsh and drying to the skin IMO
I have used baby wipes on mine many times to spot lean them or 2 parts water and 1 part peroxide and then a cotton ball to get the bad spots.
GL at the vet 2morrow

baby wipes sound like a great idea!

How about those wipes you can buy, to freshen up dogs between baths? I'm not sure what the ingredients are, but I'm sure it'd be safe for chickens? I saw them at Shop Rite the other day.

i still prefer the baby wipes (the senseative ones) they are a lot cheaper and you get tons more
