Can I give my chickies a bath?

Ive washed mine about twice a week since i got them and now they are going on 5 weeks....not had a problem here in tx....just use lukewarm water and towel dry

Thanks for all the replies
I keep my brooder clean, but some of my chicks eat like ducks! They like to mix their water and food and end up wearing it. The yogurt mixture I give them on occasion also ends up on them.
See, look:

Awwww...she is a cutie. Mine do that kinda thing now, in their coop. I think I have the food too close to the water, because I'll see them take a drink, then go right to their food...which means their food sticks to their wet beak, and then they go clean their beak off in the water

No wonder their water always looks like that!
