I think dust bathing is good, clean (sort of) chicken fun. It's less about cleanliness for them, and more about fun. If it were me, and he wasn't making a big mess, I would let him enjoy his little dust baths.I just got a new job and so haven't really figured out what my plan is with housing Taco as he is currently free ranging my house lol.
I was wondering - I left the lid off the feed tub all day so he would have access to it - I usually just let him in 3 times a day to eat what he wants and then close it back up - and when I got home he is definitely dust bathing in the feed. Is this bad? I mean I would think he's pretty darn clean as he got bathed and now hasn't left the house. He wears a diaper so he's not pooping in it either.
Just thought I would see what you guys think
