Perfect, that's the same shampoo that I use! This should be interesting, she hasn't been handled very much, my friend gave her & 2 roosters to me, but we should be able to do it! Thank you!

I usually use dish soap. Don't let water get over their nares or beak. They can inhale it and have issues.

My chickens like the blow dryer

Thank you, I will be very careful with her. I hope she likes the blow dryer! I wish I would have gotten her as a chick!

My chickens have seemed to really like the baths and hair dryer. I don't know if it's a "deer in the headlights" thing or if they truly like it. But no fights and they settle right down.

My Tezza acted a little indignant at first but when I was working on those crusty feathers she calmed right down. I can’t imagine how itchy they must have been!
I put less than a teaspoon of shampoo in a bucket of lukewarm water. The crock pot wasn’t deep enough to really soak, but I just gently splashed the water up under her tail and once wet I could see the gunk and work it loose. Yes I had rinse water too. That would have been nice to have another person to dump the soapy water and refill with clean. I just had to catch her again but she’s pretty slow. I didn’t dry her but by roost time she was dry. I have taken the blow dryer up there before though.

We have a laundry room sink convinced the old man I had to have a
hand held pull out sprayer that way I set them in warm water take my small amount of shampoo spread evenly down the back feathers add soap work through the bird .. Talk to them the entire time can be fun and goofy
