She is giving me the maniacal laugh - can you really bath chickens?
LOL!
Well,
I don't know the process, but I do know they bathe Silkies to get them ready for shows. I'll see if I can find the thread a little later with pics.
It was some pretty sad looking chickens.
Production line. Tub faucet on running warm water full strength, drain open, shampoo and towels ready and waiting. Fill tub with birds (5-12). Thoroughly wet them under faucet "shower." Add shampoo and rub over entire body, rewet as needed. Work lather into feathers. Proceed to next bird and repeat until all are well lathered. Rinse under faucet, make sure to move fingers through feathers to make sure they are thoroughly clean, reapply shampoo if needed. Rinse, repeat until all are clean. Rinse in a smaller tube of water and white vinegar. Repeat a second time in a tub of water and glycerin. Sausage wrap in a towel. Unroll and place under heat lamp or hair dryer on low-medium. Trim nails and beak while sausage wrapped. Apply pouron ivermectin while feathers remain damp.
