Bathing Silkies: How To Keep Them Bright & Fluffy!

I love it! The pictures and instructions are very detailed.

Thank you for the wonderful step by step instructions! My silikies have never been cleaner!

Good article! I don’t have silkies but I will apply this information to my larger chickens.

provides excellent information I think every silkie owner needs. My girls and boy love getting dirty so this is really helpful and well written. Good job and thanks.

Great read.

This is a very well detailed and immensely useful article, not just for Silkies! I recommend that everyone with show birds read this article.

I hope I get the courage to bathe mine someday soon lol.

Thank you so much for such an excellent article, you covered everything necessary. As a taxidermist, I am always washing and fluffing various birds, though I use chemicals and tools you’d NEVER use on a live bird! Your silkies are gorgeous and I can’t wait to try cleaning a bird, (a dead one!), with safer and gentler chemicals and tools.

I don't have Silkies, i don't even have chickens, but following the detailed descriptions in this article i feel confident i'd be able to bathe a Silkie. Well written, lot's of humor and hilarious pictures of wet chickens!

this article helped with my beautiful babies! thanks!

This is a great blow-by-blow (blow-dry-by-blow-dry?) description on how to bathe a Silkie. The pics are absolutely priceless! Nicely Done!

I don't like, or keep Silkies. I don't agree with showing chickens.
If you're not like me, and there are lots of you then this article is a must. The advice seems sound, the pictures are great and the article hangs together well.
If there was such a thing as a wet look Silkie I might change my mind.
