My ameraucana, splash wyandotte, and barnevelder found the garden bed!



All huddled together, they really enjoy each other's company!



Half the time Lucy's head (the blue ameraucana) would be underneath Daphne! (the splash wyandotte). Seriously how is that even comfortable!??

HUmm i may be totally wrong here but i thought DE was no more than finely crushed shells with minoscule sharp edges and the bug crawling on it sort of scrapped themselves to death .Didnt know it had any kind of insecticide properties.

Bugs scraping themselves to death sounds like an insecticide to me. I did see where someone 'splained it better though.

Since we move the chickens frequently, they have only grass. I was thinking we'd use one of those 4 inch high totes to put some dirt in for them. Anyone else have to "make" a dirt/dust bath?

I did for our coop.

They loved it. Especially the Guineas! All 8 of them at once! Plus the OEGB.
