Use baby shampoo. We have a white Goffin's Cockatoo and she looks beautiful when she's clean. The more subtle colors of her come out and the baby shampoo is gentle to her skin and eyes. The only drawback is it dries out the feathers if you do it too much, so no more often than once/week. (BTW it's easiest if you take the bird in the shower with you, they love the blow dryer afterward.)

you must have the chick caged on his/her own for 3 weeks with clean wood shavings in the pen.
wash the chick with baby shampoo,use a tooth brush on the stubborn marks and rinse well.
continue every 3 days until clean.
any pin feathers (check they have no blood in)can be combed using a junior hacksaw blade.
spray the chicks very heavy for week 1.lightly for week two this will encourage them to prune.
do not spray on the week before the event this will allow the natural plume to enhance.
on the early morning of the event put a little baby oil on the beak,cere and legs using a cotton wool bud.presentation is important.

I have taken white chickens in 4-H one time before and what I did worked really good.
Buy some whoolite and some blueing.
Then put some blueing in water, But make sure it only makes the water light sky blue! if you get to much it will make your chickens blue!
Wash them in that then put some woolite in the rinse water and your finished-oh yea.....dry them with a blowdryer!
The blueing makes them white,the woolite makes them fluffy and the blowdryer makes them fluffy.
And right before your show but cooking oil on thier beaks,combs,and feet. Good luck!!!!!
I had lots of fun with my chickens!!!

you can use a dry shampoo,you can get this at any feed store.
A properly cared for chicken should not need a bath....it should have a nice clean fluffy bum,and not require a bath.
