My little Silkie girl is 9 weeks today (as far as I know, anyway) and the feathers around her face are already going crazy. She's having a bit of trouble seeing, occassionally running into things and having a bit of a problem eating snacks if they aren't put down on ground level. She's managing to get in and out of the coop as well as eating and drinking, but it's just so pitiful looking.
I want to clip a bit around her eyes, but am quite scared to do it. Just wondering if there are some techniques that I can use to reduce the risk of hurting her. I've clipped wing feathers, hair around dog's eyes, and all manner of other things, but this is a first and she's just so little and her eyes so huge.
Any help would be greating appreciated as Charro's head poof is getting quite large and out of control, the dear!
