D'uccle Thread

We have to wash 16 birds before Friday to get ready for our Farm Show. Midas and our white Silkie, DJ are going to be the only 2 really bad ones, since they have the white foot feathers. My Splash Polish needs her crest washed pretty bad, she's lookin pretty nasty.

Are you doing full baths, or just feet and 'other areas as needed'?
I've never given any of our d'Uccles a full bath. Closest I ever came was making TN soak his feet in Epsom Salt water in hopes it would cure a case of bumblefoot (it did). I had to soak half his body to make sure his feet got soaked. And then he soaked half of me when he decided he was done
