Can I…

[Marrrs]

So I am a newbie to chickens, but can I bathe them? My husband brought me chickens home as a surprise when they were babies, however, didn’t look to see what kind they are.
Any ideas?

How old is he? They usually keep themselves clean. You should be able to bathe them, look up videos online, make sure not to get there heads submerged in water.

Also where did your husband get the chicks? It can help narrow down breeds.

It’s a boy? I thought it was a girl. But about 20 weeks

My guess White leghorn. looks like my pullets I would say pullet. I'm not an expert. I don't bathe mine but Ihave heard others(that show chickens) do.

Sorry, she is a girl, I was just saying he/she because I was looking at breed at first. I think she is a leghorn. If she came from a breeder she may be a mix.

She came from a store. And since I am new to this I was like oh wow I didn’t know it was a boy but thanks for clarifying. Ya my other hens I know what they are but the white ones have me stumped
