I just brought home a chick that has a prolapsed vent and a bald butt and was very dirty. I couldn't send him back. So I just put his bum in some warm water and washed him off with warm water. I have him in a warm washcloth wrapped (like a nest) he is sleeping. I am hoping this is sufficient to dry him. He is in my lap. (I say he IDK could be a she) Does anyone know of anything else I could do to her him/her?

I try and bathe my my silkies maybe twice a week, the less fluffy girls maybe once a week or longer (just for their feet)

I just wash their feet and bottoms because silkies get poop everywhere!

I clean their houses everyday too.
