How do you bathe a chicken? Seriously, mine are filthyI gave my roosters a bath. They didn't like it at all! A lot of clucking! After that experience they went straight for the saw dust pit for a sand bath... Urg.
I've been calling them Pig Pen 1 and 2
My roo tried today too but it made my ears hurtToday my little silver Sebright cockerel tried to practice crowing. It sounded more like a ERRT ERRT ooooh... It's really cute
They drank from the "water fountain", yanked a million times on my camera string thing you put over your wrist, got their coop and run cleaned out and got their first treat ball dispenser with a new to them type of seed mix treats. They also got a real tree branch to roost on in their run, their little board in the concrete blocks just wasn't working for them anymore. Shetan, our young rooster, had his head in the corner with his back to the run when one of my silver laced wyandottes flew right into his rear end and he let out the loudest HONK! Shetan is "coming into" his voice, he tried his first crow yesterday... scared the ever living daylights out of himself and all the others, lol. They scrambled and flew to hiding spots, Shetan's feet were scrambling before he was even done with his crow attempt heehee.
Here's what they did
Harvest Delight poultry treat by MannaPro, it's a various mix of seeds.
hahaMy chickie "Foghorn the Leghorn", decided to jump over my other two chickens (Plucky & Pearl) to chase a crow out of the yard and flew over 5 feet off the ground chasing it!
Thanks Saphira! I'm going to try tomorrow lol I'm sure they will love this
they are good about not getting poop on their feathers and feet but for some reason when they dirt-bathe, the dirt stays with them. They are pretty white leghorns but now kind of a dirty brown leghorn lol
