LHawley88 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 So the chickens we bought from a farm still have a farmy smell.. not overly pleasant and your hands smell after holding them! I don't think it's quite warm enough yet to bath them, but does anyone have any ideas of what's best to do? It's the 3 bantams that are wiffy and need sorting out. They also had bad scaly leg which i am finding hard to sort with the spray due to the amount of feathers they have on their feet! I've heard that a warm bowl of water and some mild pet shampoo is best to use - does anyone agree or disagree? Not having bathed a chicken before i'm unsure, and youtube is the place i've been looking at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It will fade. I wouldn't bother washing them. Some decent food and fresh air will sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 A good dust bath is what they need. Mine have been at it all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
