Do Chickens Like Baths?

Some types of dirt yes. Water no.

I've got close to 50 chickens and have bathed every one of them at different times and they ALL sit perfectly still like they love it. Even the wild rooster the neighbors moved off and left years ago.

i think if the are introduced to it in a positive way, they generally love it. if you toss em in a tub of water, dump soap on top of them, then throw them back outside they won't like it so much

Mine would drown if I didn't hold their heads up. They get limp and relaxed. A couple weeks ago I had to give my o shamo hen a soak. She tolerated it but, surprisingly, she really liked the blow dry afterward.
