Epsom soak just because?

[sadshepherdgirl]

So I have an egg-bound hen who I am giving an Epsom soak tonight, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe give all the girls a soak? No one else has issues at the moment, but I was thinking of having a bit of a pampering day for them as those that have had to soak before really enjoyed it. Would it be a bad idea to do this? Any potential harms?

There would be no problem with it, and your girls would like that. How many chickens do you have?

Great thanks! I have 6 hens and my roo, thinking about just putting them all in the bathtub

Oh my! Please get pictures!

On a serious note, make sure their feathers are dry before they go back outside. Most use a hairdryer on low. You said you've done this before, so you probably already knew that. I hope they really enjoy their spa day/night!

We got a post-soak family photo! (Bird is doing her impression of a burrito on my knee)
