I have 8 TSC sex link pullets that are around 9 to 10 weeks old. I picked up a mortar tub and filled it with sand and DE for them to take dust baths. I have yet to see them get in and dust themselves up. It seems kind of odd that they don't want to take dust baths. Any thoughts? I may add some dirt to see if that helps motivate them.
 
I'd try adding some nice dry mulch. They love that here. I can't keep them out of my gardens.

Maybe you just need to show it to them.......kinda dig around in it while they're watching.......monkey see, monkey do, ya know? LOL
