I know I'm preachin' to the choir here, but...
*steps on soap box*
The natural instincts of chicks amazes me.
Today, after a week of putting paper towels over the sand to be able to keep track of chick poops and make cleaning a couple of times a day easier, I pulled up the paper towels so the littles could be on the sand bedding. (I use sand in the coop and run.) A couple immediately flopped down and started taking dust baths, and a couple of others started scratching in it. The dust baths part was so cute with their little nubby tail butts! They were so happy.
That instinct kicks in like that when they are only a week old is amazing to me. No hen to show them the ropes, just their innate knowledge. Just another part of what makes these little creatures so fun to watch.
