    We're not angry. We just hate getting water on our face.

    Needing to give chickens baths in the winter

    I live in zone 4b and we are currently having a lot colder of a winter already than we typically do. We are averaging 10-20 degrees during the day and are filling into the negative single digits at night. A few of my girls have need baths due to poopy butt. I’m assuming it’s from the dramatic...

    Stubborn chicken lice eggs? (Advice on removing?)

    For the past half a year my sweet crossbeak girl was struggling with chicken lice, we tried many things to treat her and nothing worked until some prescribed imvermectin spray a month or 2 ago! We've had no more signs of live lice on her but there are some very stubborn lice egg clumps in her...

    How often do you hold your chicks or chickens to make them love it?

    I want to know how often you hold baby chicks or chickens to make them love it? I have been trying to hold my 5 chicks every day. Any tips on how to make them more holdable would be great! 4 of the 5 are Silkie chicks. Should I bathe them? If so how often? Should I also bathe the 5th chick? It...

    Bath time! 🛁🚿

    When keeping chickens or other poultry, bathing them is an inevitable thing. And poultry look so hilarious when they're sopping wet and no longer fluffy. So here is a thread to post your bath pics! Here are mine: BR and BLP: Absolutely hated it and flicked water all over me...

    Natural lice remedy.. too upsetting?

    I am in Canada, and if anybody lives here, they know how hard it is to find pest control. Long story short, im pretty sure my previously stray chicken has lice and has passed it to my other chicken (found a louse crawling next to her eye). I can only assume they are both infested. I only have...

    Mud Balls on Silkies Head

    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. I have experienced mud balls before on my Silkies feet, which are easy enough to get rid off, but...

    Poopy booty pullet

    One of my girls seems to have a frequently poopy booty. She hasn’t had any health issues yet. Is this normal? Should I trim the feathers? Also newbie question, do you bathe chickens in winter? She is 8.5 months old, gold lace Wyandotte.

    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?

    Poopy chickens? NOT pasty butt

    First year crazy chicken lady here. Though I have learned a lot from working at a feed and farm store and growing up around farms. I still have a lot to learn. For instance: Somehow, my black Australorp got under one of my other girls while they were having a rather watter-y movement and is now...
