2nd AnswerTypically no, it is generally a bad idea to bathe chickens. Chickens take dust baths which help them remove mites and other parasites. So if they have dry dust they can dig into and coat themselves with, then shake off, they are pretty happy.It is possible chickens presented at a 4-H show or fair may need their feathers cleaned, which can be done with a damp towel.1st AnswerI'm not too sure, but my next door neighbor in Hungary had a couple chickens and I never saw him bathing them, nor have I heard of it really so I assume it's not necessary.
