Chucky Mama Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh dear, I hope that they are OK. I used to bathe the birds that had been oiled by oil spills on beaches and they lost a lot of feathers afterwards. Hopefully yours didn't get too much of a soaking and didn't swallow any. I agree though, they can be amazingly silly sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Golly poor you. What a shock. I do hope your chooks did not do any self cleaning before you got to them . . . but then if they are silkies, I doubt they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
