I'm bumping this question.  A little stinky girl needs a bath.  I read that soap is toxic to chickens, so I don't want to buy something dangerous for her.

This is a new roo that was just dropped off to me by a family that though they had a pullet, they were so sad to leave him here. He is 14 weeks old and already has tried to do the deed with the girls at his previouse home.

 

Does any one think that this boy will make unique looking EE chicks with these pretty hens?

YAY! I have 2 new pullets today from Holly. They're super sweet and adorable! So glad I have the hutch for them to reside in while everyone gets used to each other though...the big girls were attacking the hutch wire trying to get the newbies! The newbies sure don't seem shy though and were squawking right back at the big girls. Hopefully the bigs will stay out to free range most of the day so nobody gets stressed out. ACV in everyone's water, molasses in the newbies' water, should be good to go in a few days after they've seen each other for a while.

you can certainly do it now !

Any birds with really dirty butts (egg masses) try to bathe, just get a warm water/tiny bit of dish soap or no more tears shampoo  and gently set them in it & wash their bottoms...have a towel close by to dry ...and if ya get big hard gobs you can snip them off with scissors too.

Most of us give the Eprinex, and repeat in 2 weeks to clean up any eggs that may have hatched.

We have a pond. We lined it with a "clay" type liner, that is semi-permeable. I don't know how big your pond is, but we have some liner left (free) if you are interested.
