Hi Jules.
Welcome to Poultry Talk. com
I hope you will enjoy being a member and will find us a useful resource. We shall soon be adding more information pages on how to look after your birds and more!

Occasionally you will get the odd bird who has a dirty bottom. This may be caused by more prominent fluff, in this area on some breeds and is nothing really to worry about. The best thing to do is to pick the bird up and try to remove it and then trim any you can't and carefully trim a little of the excess fluff from the bottom.

Hope this helps.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards
Jamie.
