Just when they’re dirty in their backside! They really hate getting all wet! I did bathe a while Wyandotte once, then blow-dried her- she hated that!

In all of my 4 years of keeping chickens I've only had to bathe 2 of them.

Blamo, because she had a dirty bum.
CreamPuff, because she is a terrible disgusting chicken

I really need to bathe my polish. Her white crest is brown lol I bathed my 2 silkies and polish when I bought them because they were really dirty and I towel and blow dried. Surprisingly they didn't mind the blow dry that much and were pretty good in the bath tools

Only when they have a dirty butt, and I wouldn't call it "bathing", it's more along the lines of holding them in one arm like a football with their head facing my elbow and the hose nozzle put on gentle shower, then I spray away the poo

I bathe my silkie rooster. I am training him for my county fair cause if I can bathe my silkie what better reason than to be a pretty boy for fair?

I bathe my silkies when I feel they need it. Boy does dirt like to stick to their feathers.

I have a few times, mostly just my boy, his legs get very irritated and swollen.
Or occasionally one of my other birds when they are extremely disgusting.

I try to avoid bathing at all costs though.
