Silly question, but how exactly do you bath a chicken? I have 2 silkies and one of them has a big dingle berry hanging from her butt. LOL it's not attractive but doesn't look very comfortable either. Thought about just cutting it out but the girls could probably use a good bath. Here they are with my newest addition, the freebie chick that was given to me.
Yup a velocity force dryer. but with the hard feathered babies i used it only to get most of the water off, i finished with a hand dryer.What do you use to dry them? You had some sort of a drier they use for grooming dogs, right? I like the bathing part, but blow drying. Forget it! It' takes forever.
She is very young. Most settle down at 3 or 4 months with lots of handling.
I haven't settled on a name for this girl yet, but she is my favorite of my four silkie chicks. She is so dainty. She is also terribly skittish. All of my other chicks jump on my shoulder, my lap, eat out of my hand, and come to see me whenever I'm in their room. I'm not sure what to do. Is she going to be like this forever? Is constantly afraid a personality type? I really want to cuddle her.
If the dingle berry is only attached two or three feathers, just pull it off.Silly question, but how exactly do you bath a chicken?

They look like they could be silkie crossed.
I always notice them getting a lot calmer when they start laying too.Peepblessed! You have given me hope. I will continue to try. Thank you so much
Some are a little higher pitched than a large roo but they are often just a loud. A year old silkie should be laying or crowing. Males have a much larger comb. Posting photos will help you the most.
