Is it easy to bathe Silkie Chickens that are about 15 weeks old almost?? My Silkies when it rained for a whole week last week they look like they stuck there heads in a mud puddle and now they got blackish tops..need a bath and just wondering how go about it...do you blow them dry then with blow dryer? Thanks for any replys..

A blow dryer on low works well and after a bit mine relax and enjoy it. I use just a little baby shampoo for mine, not sure what others use.

Piece of cake. Bucket of warm water, dish soap or baby shampoo, and a tablespoon of ACV. You can blow them dry or just bathe them early and let them out on a warm dry day.......Pop
