When to bathe?

[SilkiesForEver]

Hello,
I have a white bearded Silkie pullet and she is really dirty, does any one know when its okay to bathe her?
I don't want to stress her out.

Bathe her when it is warm out, or if you bathe her inside you can dry her with a hair dryer. If you think she really needs a bath, then okay, but they don't really need it unless they're going to a show.

It would help us answer your question better if we knew where you were from. For instance, I live in Va and the weather has been quite warm here. I've already bathed a few of my white birds twice this year. I bathed my girls because they had some poo stuck to their bottoms. I don't bathe them for just being dirty. Chickens bathe themselves.....in dirt. They're dirty birdies Good luck.
