I love that turtle!
I want to mention that my button quail already know the perfect dust bath recipe: take one slice of wholegrain bread, apply body!
I swear I have never seen anything much cuter than a gaggle of dust bathing button quail, whether they're using the "real" dust bath or their...
Thanks for the input, guys!
Sand -- no problem
mite powder -- no problem
But I have neither "very fine dirt" nor "ash/soot from the fireplace". Hmmmmmm.
Of course, the birds would get by with just the dirt....but I'd like to explore the possibilities.
Other recipes, anyone?
hey y'all --
Do you have a "recipe" for dust baths?
So far my chickens have had to make do with plain old dirt. My button quail have been getting Stall Dry or chinchilla dust to bathe in (button quail LOOOOOOOVE to dust bathe, btw ). What do y'all like to use?
Any input welcomed!
