Can you give your turkey a bath?

Turkeys should not be bathed, as it can cause stress and potentially lead to health problems. The natural oils on their feathers help protect them from the environment, and bathing can remove these oils, making them more susceptible to illness. Additionally, turkeys have delicate skin that can be easily irritated by soap or other cleaning agents. Avoid submerging or spraying your turkey in water. Instead, spot-clean any soiled areas with a damp cloth.
