People that show chickens bathe them.

Special shampoo and all.

I have bathed gooped up chicks. plain water at 101f and soak them till the junk can be rubbed off.

You can bathe them and some even seem to like it. Do a search on bathing chickens for show and there are several good videos.

Bernie is new to the world of chicken fanciers - he had never seen a non-local chicken until i hatched 23 eggs in my living room on in the Philippines and handed him the chicks to look after.

As each hatch develops into birds his favorites shift.

Right now we have very nice English Orpingtons in Blue Black and Splash as well as Jersey Giants in the same colors (well Orps have pink feet while Jerseys are yellow). They are spectacular birds and are his fave because they are also laying well. He likes the buff orps too and prays that the month old chick we have is a roo. I am sure things will change as the younger chicks feather out.

I sent over an encyclopedia of chickens. I am getting requests for Polish, Houdans, and any top hatters from Analou.
