    Dust Bathing

    We have added a nice 10xx10 covered chain link yard for the girls to hang out in during the day. They scratch and sometimes create a nice divit to lay in and roll around in. I know dust bathing is crucial for mite control. The ground in here is hardish so should I provide a big bowl area filled...
