Do chicken like to bathe?

[AccidentalFarm]

I don't give my chickens baths, but I do provide a tub of cool water outside for them. They enjoy stepping in it (to help cool off - i assume), pecking at the 'floaters'

, and they do drink from it as well. Here's one of my Buff Cochin's standing in the tub:

I think we may be putting something out for them like what you have, Accidental Farm. (BTW, I LOVE that cochin!

) I just don't want them to be able to tip it over and make a muddy mess.
