I have a question that I couldn't quite find the answer to. I have 6 chickens - females, that I think are between 3 and 4 months (I can't remember exactly when we got the chicks) they're all seemingly healthy and happy. We moved them outside to their coop a few weeks ago as soon as the weather...
So, I brought in some sandy soil from the area where my new coop is. I thought I would dry it out (it's been raining so I actually dried it in the oven). Put some in a shallow tray thinking it would occupy the chicks (3 wks old? Not sure) and they would scratch and peck and do their dust bath...
