Heehee, they are funny! I had a couple of cochins that would go into dustbathing frenzy every time they got on a towel. I'd get to tickle them under their wings while they did it, which sent them to cloud 9.
Nope, you can give them dust at any time. I've seen chicks as young as a few days try to dust bathe. It's a really satisfying thing for them to participate in.
