my silkies get poopy feet and one has some poop on her feathers. Can I bath silkies in warm water to help clean the stool off of their feathered feet and body?
 
Welcome to BYC!

Yes, you can bathe them. But depending on your weather you might have to blow dry them off. Also, Silkies do get more wet easier to its more important to dry them off and be more careful.
Although, how much mess are we talking? Could it just be wiped off? Where are the feathers dirty not on the feet?
 
I wash my girls from time to time although they’re not silkies,
I use Johnson’s baby shampoo and warm water. They enjoy it.
However … be warned … it is an absolute bar steward when you come to rinse them 🚿 🚿 and more 🚿
They don’t half look shiny when they’re clean and dry though 😊
