I have a 9 month old Americana chicken, she is white. It’s been really muddy lately and she has started to become yellow. What type of shampoos can I use to bathe her? I have Guinea pig shampoo that I could use but if that isn’t safe for her what else can I use?
 
Why are you wanting to bathe her? It's generally considered best to avoid bathing chickens unless it's absolutely necessary, since it can strip their feathers of their natural oils.
If you really have no other choice, then I would recommend using baby shampoo, since it's very mild and it's ok if you somehow get some into their eyes.
Hope this helps!

Im going to wait until muddy season is over, but it’s because her feathers are getting really hard and nasty with the dried up mud. It’s gotten to the point where her dust baths won’t help. Ty.
