I was shampooing my Cockerel for show on Sat and can't believe he managed to duck his complete head twice before i could get a good grip on him. When I dryed him and put him in a pen to sun I noticed he couldn't keep his balance. i think he got water in his ears or something. Took a few hours but he can walk without looking like a drunk chicken. i had never bathed one in a tub before. I usually bath in a shallow dishpan or two.
Washing chickens wears me completely out. I almost swear off showing. They had mostly fluffed back up by this evening.
I do love those birds though. I am leaving out about noon tomorrow with my friend Imogene. DH will man the Fort will I am gone. He is a good man.

Sandy and I know the feeling of wanting to swear off showing because of the whole washing thing. It is a job and I always ask myself why we put ourselves through this, but then the show comes and it all seems to be worth the effort.

I am just taking him to see if they will let me swap position from blue to black, that is if he is okay this morning. He is the one I nearly drowned.  I am going to have fun. I have to carry four chicks to a gal to. Told her we need to hook up real soon as I don't want to babysit dayolds at the show. |

julie,
Hope you make it back to back English "UK" Champs wins.
I'll be pulling for you.
Hey take a pic of this this olympic diving champ. I would love to see him.
I had an aquatic bird I bathed a while ago. He did not have the trouble of yours though.
Good luck!
