how do u bath silkies????

 

I followed a previous post. I dipped on one bucket of soapy water and rinsed in vinegar water. One of my silkies seems to enjoy it (my clean freak) and my little pig pen hated it. Go figure!
I will get out and get an after pic when my daughter naps. I'm hoping they are nice and fluffy.

I'm going to search for this shampoo later at Target. I want to try it on my leghorn too. Her feathers are yellowing a bit too. I'm just wondering how to get them to sit for 5 minutes with the soap on!

I should've taken a picture before I washed because my pig pen silkie was so dirty. I don't know how he/she does it. With the second silkie you can see the leghorn I was talking about.
I still don't know the sexes.

You should have blown them dry. That's their favourite part
