How to give a chicken a bath...

Yes sometimes even a chicken will need a bath...so first spot the chicken that is soiled...this one unfortunately slept under the pirch...big mistake...so to remove poop from a chicken follow these steps...

Fill the first garbage with dishsoap, warm water and a little borax...the 2nd tub with clear water...the 3rd tub with warm water and a little white vinegar...swish chicken in one tub at a time with hands firm over wings keeping head above water at all times.

Then gently wrap your chicken in a towel and cuddle it for awhile till it starts to dry.




Put it in a box and allow it to shake off excess water...

Then blowdry on low to finish drying wings so it doesn't catch a chill and die.

now you have a happy clean chicken...Thank you for your time :)    It's really not as bad as you would think.  We've had to bathe two chickens on two different occassions and the chicken stayed quite calm as long as I was calm and firm and gentle...and it beats handling a poopy chicken for days and risking it getting sick.

About Me

I'm a mom of 4 great kids that make me smile and appreciate life every day. I am married to the best husband ever. He always puts me first and the kids next. We are the luckiest family ever. I love playing the piano, drawing and painting, redecorating our house, and most of all spending time with our family. However lately I just can't get enough of spending time outside in our yard planting and weeding...I'm adding trees and perennials this year. Cuddling up with books or spending time outside are a few of our favorite past-times.
