Wow, I forgot about this page...totally forgot about the oil tip. I'm going to try this when I give my next bath-next month!

Thank you for this! There are 4 Silkies who were out playing in the mud here and are tracking mud all over now, so some chickens are getting a proper bath. Wasn't sure how to wash a Silkie vs the normal feathered birds here.

Was that a proper "stink eye" I saw back there on pic 7?

Thank you so much for this excellent post!!! I just got 2 - 8 week old splash silkies. Any tips in paticular for (insert explative) feet and legs. These poor things are yucky!!

Adding a Thank You for this wonderful pictorial. I vaguely knew how it was done, but now I'm confident to do it myself. We bought 3 white showgirls and 2 white silkies that need to be made beautiful

Love the glycerin tip and will try it out tomorrow.
