Chickens for bug control and food recycling.

The two in the foreground of this pic are the bathing beauties....

Do you think I got them white enough?

Beautifully white!

Although it is hard to tell the washed birds from the other white chicken.

I know! It's subtle from a distance but up close they are just a tad more white than the rest. These WRs stay pretty clean for white birds, especially out on free range. These in the picture are only in a pen and run for a little breeding and then brooding, but soon to be out on the green grass once again.

That's one good looking roo -- and he knows it.

With mine, it's only when they stay cooped up too long that they get dirty. Out in the grass they are clean. Bee, I had to laugh at the mental picture of you bathing chickens. Not what I would expect from the usual "pioneer woman" image I have of you, lol.

Yeah...one of the old timer guys on BYC said he had to pick his jaw off the ground when he read about me bathing chickens.

Trust me...it's a one time deal. Not good for animals to be bathed...robs them of their natural oils in the hair and protective layer of dust on the skin.

I hope you and your chickens have fun at the show!
