Can anyone advise me on the best way to go about bathing a hen?

My favorelle is due to go into boarding whilst we move house (along with our other 2 brown rangers) and I would like to clean her up a bit first as she’s quite muddy, particularly round her beard. Can you use mild shampoo or will this affect the oil in their feathers?

Thanks

I have just used a basin of warm water when I have bathed Poppy. Introduce the chook carefully to the water as it can be stressful. Use a hair drier afterwards.

you can use a good mild shampoo such as baby shampoo, then towel dry and follow with the hair dryer on a warm setting not hot.
