Ashes or Black Dirt, Sand & DE are the materials I use to make my dust baths out of. I was wondering what other materials some BYCer's use or what could be substituted to make one. I have everything I need but since it's rained recently the ashes & black dirt are wet....would take several days to dry out. I'd like to make a fresh bath for them today so any input would be helpful.
DE just by itself is funny because it turns all your chickens/quail all white. I usually give them DE and sand but they mostly prefer the plain old dirt on our property.
Well since the ground is wet and would take too long to dry out a load of it......Pete it is. I'll mix in some DE. Thanks & my chickens will thank you too!!!
