| Question about Pets:What can I wash little chicks with? |
I would not advise washing young chicks. Washing them will make them very cold, they will become very stressed and may die.
You may also accidently pull out their down, or drown them. Instead, make sure their cage is clean. Make sure they always have fresh, clean water and food (no soiled water) and the floor of the cage has clean litter. The only circumstance where something like that would be okay was if their was feces blocking the vent of the chick. Then you would need to wet only the feces and very gently pull them off with a wet rag.
Adult chickens do not naturally bathe on their own in water, they instead take 'dust baths' by wallowing in cool, fine dust. This suffocates parasites that are living in the feathers and thus promotes good feather health.
