Hey everyone,
So I've been a backyard chicken owner now for almost a year - it's going fantastic and I absolutely love it! Anyways, I have 1 question about keeping chickens looking good and (relatively) clean. Specifically, I'd like to know how to bathe a chicken and also any tricks to keep poop from sticking to the feathers on their booties? I heard mention of baby powder but was wondering of how that works (where to apply, how often, other miscellaneous info about such things...). I'm sorry for any repeat info from another thread this may cause, I searched for some time in the forums but couldn't find a "How To" post or advice anywhere!
Thanks, everyone!
P.S. in case there's some breed-specific info, this advice is for use on my white Silkie.
