New member here with 11 chickens. I have Wellsummers, Buff Brahmas, Blue Cochins, Sapphire Gems, and Silkies. I got into chickens with my daughter to give her something to do on the weekends along with growing plants. We intend to show both plants and chickens at our county fair next year. The trouble is that our silkies feet are no longer white and are dingy. I have tried soaking them for a half hour, and scrubbing with a toothbrush. Nothing works and I am getting very discouraged that they will never be white again. I've read about peroxide, diluting bleach, purple horse shampoo and how not to bathe too often. What can I do to get these feet show worthy?
