Would this compost be safe as part of a dust bath (combined with sand and ash): Tomato Skins, almond shells, rice straw and hulls, bark fines, composted dairy manure, composted chicken manure, and seabird guano
 
I don't think they'd dust bathe in that even if it was safe bacteria-wise. Too much chunky stuff. Chickens like a fine, uniform, dry medium to dust bathe in. Mine hate sand but go crazy for peat moss (or plain old dry soil that they'll dig up from under the run bedding).
