Chicken Salts

Dissolve 1/4 cup salts in 500ml warm water. The bentonite clay can take a little time to absorb into the water.

Ensure all salts are dissolved prior to putting the chicken in the water. Any undissolved salt crystals can be irritating to stand on and cause further foot injury.

Stand chicken in the foot bath for 10-15 minutes to allow dirt, oils and debris to easily come away. After soaking, a soft toothbrush can help to dislodge larger scales. Do not force these scales off. 

Dry the legs, and then apply Lovely legs - thickened herbal oil for chicken legs. 

Chicken Salts can also be used to soak the feet in cases of Bumblefoot.
