Thanks! people always look @ me weird when I tell them that the black astraloupe's name is Yellow Butt. lol. She has a bright yellow butt as a chick & the name stuck! haha.

Hi All, Just signed up. This is my first year with chickens. Funny thing, today I was wondering about building a dusting box and when I would need to do it. I came home from work and looked in the brooder pen, and 1 of my 2 1/2 wk old chicks was having quite a time in the wood chips!

My gals picked the flowerbed right against the house to do their dustbathing (I think cuz the dirt stays pretty dry there). I just had to hose off the house cuz it got so dirty from them kickin' up dirt! Little stinkers! LOL
