    Do I bathe my RIR?

    I certainly can ask my partner to assist in holding her for me! She’s pretty good at staying still when I want her to (such as clipping her nails if they get too long, etc) She’s a very good girl! I just get nervous because I love her so much! Thank you for your suggestion! <3

    Do I bathe my RIR?

    Do I bathe my RIR?

    Also worth mentioning that she is a year old so she is fully feathered. I am uncomfortable clipping her bottom because I am afraid of accidentally cutting her if she squirms

    Do I bathe my RIR?

    My Rhode Island Red has a bad leg so she cannot perch to poop, therefore gets some build up on her butt. I was thinking about bathing her in epsom salt to break up the poop on her butt as I don’t want it to lead to infection, but at the same time, I don’t want to bathe her because I heard it’s...

    first time indoor chicken mom with concerns about feathers

    thank you!!! i appreciate everyone’s kindness here. she totally has plenty (if not too much) room, she just loves the one corner where i put mirrors against the walls. i’ll invest now in some hanging ones as well as moving those corner mirrors to hopefully discourage her from leaning against the...

    first time indoor chicken mom with concerns about feathers

    perfect, thank you! i actually have a bunch of old clothes that aren’t good enough to donate, i’ll repurpose them to do that :) thank you!!! i’m also gently stroking up her feathers and they’re definitely doing better, but not perfect. i’ll be more cautious about my placement of her mirrors/toys...

    first time indoor chicken mom with concerns about feathers

    hello! thank you!!! it is very big, she has plenty of room to turn around and explore. i think it’s because she spends her time in the corner where i keep the mirrors attached to the walls. i’m going to try moving the mirrors away from the wall (especially in corners) and see how that goes 🥰
