Bathing Show Poultry (Chicken Bath and Grooming)

[@rosehernandez5313]

That was cute, the chicken actually looked like it was having a good time.

[@therjp8]

After 4 years of watching this video, I need to comment. My 2yo daughter requested a video of a chicken taking a bath. She’s now 6 and still loves this video! We are NYers who don’t live near any farms or chicken coops! Just letting Dawson know that he’s got a fan!

[@GABRIEL1ANONLY]

People use this method to clean their show chickens and I’m using it to clean my regular every day egg layers I love my chickens can’t forget Frederick my turkey

[@jojofan9732]

Idk why, but I enjoyed this so much

I just watched this before bed with my 2 silkies. Boo and Beaker. Both are the best pets EVER!

[@mobstercrow7515]

My white silkie hen loves being bathed and getting wet. She also loves rolling in fresh mud... My chickens live in my city backyard with a walk in chicken coop, the entire backyard has motion sensored lights so there aren't any predators, other than Mister Garrison. Mister Garrison is our neighborhood possum, I feed him in our front yard, he lets me pet him. I leave the coop open at night when the weather is nice because two of my silkies like sleeping on our back porch. Genos is our only white silkie. One night it was raining and I went outside to make sure Genos and Merlin were okay. Merlin was under the table on his perch, Genos was out in the cold rain digging for worms at 1am. She was completely dripping wet so I took her inside and put her in my dogs crate. I have a snake and multiple heat lamp domes and bulbs so I put one on top of the crate to warm her up. After about an hour she was completely dry so I put her back outside in her own coop. Our giant chicken coop has a smaller coop attached to the side, like a townhouse. Merlin and Genos stay away from the rest of the flock since 5 of them are their babies, they don't like to deal with their kids, they are retired. I put them in their own coop and they were good for the rest of the night! I have 10 spoiled backyard chickens. 3 are rescues, the rest are silkies. I raised Merlin and Genos since they were a day old, they have 5 chicken children and they are all black. I was expecting at least 1 white chicken since Genos is white. Merlin is black so all of the babies turned out black. Now I have little fluffy voids running around! Two of my rescue chickens are buff orpingtons, I have 1 rescues american game hen too, she was attacked by a rooster and the rooster took part of her comb off. She had a huge scab for a while but it fell off and it is completely healed. Now she has a bald spot. She bullies the rest of the chickens and pecks their butts. She is angry because she is bald. :(

This is so soothing

[@aaronanimation1463]

I’m glad to see it’s normal to give chickens baths, my silkie loves water but hates being cold and wet

Am a dog groomer and a customer asked me if I groom chickens, I was like, is this a joke? Well I see is not, good job man, you are amazing

[@WobblesandBean]

What a pretty silkie! I just love this breed, they look like Muppets 💜

[@heidinolen873]

I named my little blue silkie male "Beaker" cause he looks just like him.

[@kalievesely3200]

He looks amazing holy hell

My silkie Basil and I are going our to our first competition in a couple of weeks so I’m very nervous especially since I’ll be away on vacation for two weeks

[@CookAndMove]

What is that? I got silly chicks for my kids but what do you mean a competition???

[@timliciashow2983]

@@CookAndMove she means a chicken show. They go and present their chickens and they judge them on how cute they are and fancy and nice and if they win they get money or other prizes

[@maymay5600]

that's one well behaved chicken

[@StarryKitsuKat]

Wonderful video and lovely silkie rooster, I was afraid of getting my Silkies too wet so I just been washing them with a sponge lol But after seeing this I will bathe them much better. Btw what is the blue and hair shampoo you used? What are the best kind? I use a bit of Dawn detergent atm but would like to use something to give them a more fresh aroma.

[@Nuri-nf6yi]

I would recommend using pet friendly shampoo wich u can get in pet shops. Normal shampoo like we use can be pretty strong for them. Tips: if there is a pet friendly shampoo with spearemint in it i would choose that. Thats because lice does not like the smell of spearemint so its not likely to get lice in the chickens feathers😊

[@saraliddell9502]

I think the regular hair shampoo was actually horse mane n tail shampoo ( it’s great btw)

[@kalievesely3200]

Wow he is adorable

[@Professionalvideor]

I have giant coaching, so what do I do?

[@songoftheblackunicorn666]

I have a little sultan hen. Sophia is a companion bird for me and my severely cross beaked Americana hen named Izzy. Unfortunately while we were visiting clay hole swamp WMA Sophia learned that she loved every ashepit from every campfire for her dust baths I didn't have the heart to stop her because she was having so much fun. I did wash her in dawn and bluing shampoo and it did help, but although she went from dark grey to eight shades whiter she is still dingy. Any recommendations?

[@midnightdemon2112]

If i saw this when i still had my silkie roo i wouldve bathed him to be the prettiest boy.

[@Sugarsail1]

My chickens would lose their shit if I even suggested I was going to put them in water.

[@balaarulselvi8676]

In the cold water or hot water

[@daryushnadjafi6673]

Sweat. Wife and me just bought a sultan coq while traveling in mexico. He came from a bad home and was pretty dirty and bullied. I'll wait untill I have access to a blow-dryer and probably just use a little shampoo. Thanks friend. U have a beautiful coq, i would definitely stroke it.

[@ebanni4386]

How do you get him to stay with you and not flap about when you put him in the water!?

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Please help.. not gonna lie, i have slacked on collecting eggs. Some of my broody girls broke some. Now they are covered in egg and they smell!!! What good/strong smelling shampoo can I use?

[@janelensch6168]

Yes, was not sure what product my hen could tolerate washing in sink. Peep got attacked by coyote and too scared to go back in yard. After 3 weeks she will go in gated front patio and by for 60 min. Gotta get her clean with your instructions. TY

[@micahjobbins7041]

What temperature?

[@paca7429]

omg ty lol i have a chicken show coming up in like a week so i need to bathe my chicken and get them ready for the show lol

[@agtano2811]

What brand is the blueing shampoo? Where do you get that?

[@hhhope]

How in the world did you train your bird to hold still and not attack at all? 🤔Mine is not so tame. Any tips?🙄

[@belle4126]

TEG 'ON out them on the ground go under there wings and rub back to front

[@TrustMeIKnowThings]

Did you get the bird as an adult or chick? You have to handle your chickens a LOT

[@alleosussquirt8041]

Man I swear it's random if a bird likes the bath or not.

[@SheWhoIsOnTrial]

Omg, that cutie rooster! do you sell hatchable eggs? I don't mind if it's not your best but I really want my pet silkie to have a friend (or child) She gets bullied a lot by the regular chickens and she would LOVE a rooster! edit: her name is Versace and I do not do chicken shows, just pets!

[@ninastone9054]

I enjoyed this

[@witchoflight4215]

wosh the birb

[@harriett7967]

Please cover the face of the bird before you put that spray on. That beauty doesn't need to inhale all that garbage. Yes, I saw that you covered the beak, but it's still in the air, and it's poor eyes. Other than that I love your relationship with your animal. Such trust.... both ways.
