A vistor having coffee at our home, looking out the dining-room window, observed 6 of our hens having a mass-dustbathing session.
She got a disturbed look on her face and uttered the following:
"OMG!!! ARE THEY SICK???? DO THEY HAVE RABIES OR SOMETHING????"![]()

I politely engaged her.... "Nope....." I said, then asked "How do you think they make eggs to lay?????"![]()
Mrs. promptly kicked my shin under the table............
I didn't know chickens did that until researching about raising chickens here, but it didn't surprise me one bit because I knew dogs took baths like that in grass and dirt and thought, well if one kind of animal does that why not others?
