Dawn dish washing liquid. Get the original.

You could try bathing them. Dawn dishwashing liquid is gentle but breaks down oils. Just use a bit in the water.

Dawn dish soap?

Good idea, they resemble oil spill refugees right now. Also my white silkies are no longer white, ideas? and don'tcha know it we're having a bday party today and EVERYONE wants to see the birds. I washed everyone in baby shampoo yesterday but looks like it'll have to be another bath day.
