They are very clean in their habits, and unless they are very crowded in their abode it is very little work to keep them clean. They are very thankful for a bath, and it should be given them as often as possible, as it keeps their plumage in fine shape and also rids them of vermin, thereby helping to keep them feeling good and iiealthy. —Poultry Gazette.
