5 w.o. pullets dusting...normal??

[brewmiss96]

Hi there, so my three 5 week olds are dusting themselves in their brooder (not quite done with the chicken haus and run yet).

Is this normal or should I be looking for parasites?

my chicks did that around 5 weeks too. i think it's normal.

Perfectly normal.

Mine started at two weeks. The first time they were outside in the yard they started dusting. I wonder how they know to do that? They hadn't seen the older chickens do it.

dust bathing is normal for lil chickies.they love it more than anything.
