    Salmon Faverolle chick taking showers? Lol

    I’ve got seven chicks in the brooder this spring, mostly breeds I haven’t had before. My one Salmon Faverolle girl is so far very skittish and not a fan of being handled. She also tends to shriek a lot when the other chicks get rowdy. However—one really interesting thing I noticed last night...

    Dust Bath- Disappeared?

    Gave my chicks (3.5 weeks old) their first dust bath in a smaller shallow container. After about 15 hours the soil/DE/herbs are completely gone!! I know the dirt can come out while their cleaning and probably because of how shallow it is but I don’t even see any dirt on the bedding of their...

    One of my silkies accidentally spent the night outside earlier this week, unfortunately it was a very stormy evening and she has ended up with large mud balls on her head hanging down over her eyes.

    During their journey, new hens got poopoo on their feathers! How should I clean them?

    The title basically says it all. I got 9 new hens yesterday (yay!) and during the journey home they were in cardboard boxes and some must've lost their balance with the car's motion as they've managed to get poo on themselves. Maybe you'll be able to see in the photo attached. Obviously I've...

    Bathing Silkies

    How does one bathe a silkie? It’s been raining some here and unlike my other chickens, my Silkies are disgusting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I read that you can dilute blue dawn soap and then use puppy flea shampoo?

I have a bathtub and was thinking of carefully washing them within shallow water. (I have bathed a dog before and understand NO...
