Can Frizzles Be Bathed?

[EmmaRainboe]

I have heard both yes and no to this question: "Can frizzles be bathed?" Will it ruin my girls feathers if I bathe her? Thanks in advance!

Why would you want to bathe them? Wet chickens are angry chickens.

It's recently gotten extremely wet where I am so she has gotten all muddy and is FILTHY, if she can be bathed I would like to bathe her because I cuddle with my girls and she's just so dirty. If it would ruin her feathers I guess I'll just wait till she manages to get all the mud off herself.

I'm not sure if it would mess up her feathers. If rain and mud haven't messed them up already, I don't see why a bath would.

That's a very good point

You can add water to remove dirt or anything off the bird. I use a hair dryer to blow dry it warm and dry. Fluffs back up. Any kind of chicken. It won't ruin the feathers when it has been dried.

Okay sounds great then! I've always blow dried my birds, they love it!

My house chicken is a Frizzle and she gets bathed regularly. Her feathers are fine. She LOVES being blow dried!

Aw what a cutie! I bathe and blow dry all my birds regularly cause mine are pets to me and they love it! I've just never done my frizzle cause I didn't know if it would damage her feathers, but I made up for it with extra cuddle time

Not exactly a bath, my frizzled Ayam fell in a horse trough and got soaked through to the bone. Dried her off with a dryer and towel and her feathers are fine
