You need some Doan's pills....Do they still make them ? I wonder. Soak in a hot tub with some epsom salts...fix you right up! I know you are tired, that is a lot of silkies for 1 day!!​

Thanks, but lots to do tonight. I only have 30 more to go! Then off to the next group! The most I've done in one day was 35! Need to do some laundry, so will be watching I Love Lucy for a while tonight!

Youch That is an awful lot of birds.What type of shampoo do you use? Is it a dog flea and tick? I just washed silkies for the first time for the fair. One site said to use a flea and tick shampoo first and then a shampoo specifically for chickens, and then a vinegar rinse and a final regular rinse. Is that too many steps?​

Everone has their own method. I was washing for debugging, so only used Adam's Flea & tick shampoo. If washing for a show, usually use one for horses. Hope that helps!
