I gave my silkie a bath. She verbally protested for about one minute, then turned to marshmellow.She rolled over one her side as well and I had to hold her up from going under. She loved it. She was white and fluffy and smelled like Dawn and after she was dried(put her in a small dog carrier and put a 100w light on it)she was perky and ready to go.Chickens rock!

So glad you posted both this & the pics! I've been a chicken owner for about 4 weeks & they are getting too big for the aquarium they are in (I have no choice until my husband finishes their coop). They are getting quite disgusting in those close quarters & I searched chicken bath & this link came up. Thanks a million!! I'll be cleaning my dirty birds tomorrow. I'll have to have someone nearby with a camera to capture the moment
I gave the 4 chickens that I was entering in the fair bathes. Except for Rusty they all loved it. I had to hold up their heads. They were SO relaxed!!!
But Rusty was struggling and I had to give him a shower instead of a bath because he kept pooping in the tub. Oh and he hated the blow dryer. I thought for sure he was going to break his wings. The way he was struggling.
