Yes. They do enjoy their baths, but with the limited space of small coops there often little more you can do.How often would chickens need to ash-bathe? I have a chicken tractor, so no good place to dump a bucket full of ash in the run. I have a good dry spot under my porch, but they'd only have access to it in the afternoons when i get home from work and they can free range. Is this enough?
Is this from scrap that's burned?I work for a Wabash Wood Products a division of Wabash National. We product 12-15 tons of wood ash per week. it is wet and I need to get rid of it. If anyone is interested in contacting me about it I would love to talk to someone about it.
Just saw a YouTube video that said pure wood ash is good but then they turned around and said "if it gets wet - it makes lye and that will burn their feet!"
We have a fire pit but only burn hardwood in it...no chems to start the fires, and now I'm afraid to use the wood ash.
Anyone out there know if this video was wrong or was he referring to wood ash that has treated lumber or other chems in it? If this is going to burn my girls' feet - I've got to remove it ASAP! Thanks folks!
