chicks are smelly critters. they release ammonia in their poo. but, giving him a bath was your mistake. that stresses him out ALOT, which creates ammonia, and the ammonia is what smells. wooops, we all make mistakes. good luck witth the chickkkii i hope i helped out

Chicks smell. They eliminate ammonia in their stool. Frequently changing their bedding and using a highly absorbant litter like care-fresh (a shredded newsprint) will help. For more information on chick rearing please consult the Murray McMurray Hatchery site and hot-line. They are some of the best in the exotic poultry business.

Give the chicken a little more time, eventually the smell will go away, that's normal

It will come off in time. Don't worry about washing the smell off. Just keep it warm. You may end up killing it if you try washing it when it is that young.
