Dust Bath Pictures?

[HC7]

I would love to see pictures of dust baths that you've made! Also any helpful information about what you put in them. I'll be getting mine set up soon

In the summer, it's our flower gardens.

In the winter, it's an XL kitty litter box half-filled with garden dirt with some food-grade diatomaceous earth and wood ash mixed in.

We dig about 2 5-gallon buckets of dirt and keep it inside so it doesn't freeze and we can replenish a couple times in the winter months.

I used an old wheelbarrow. Added peat moss, fine dirt and a light sprinkling of First Saturday lime...Not only do they love the dust bath part, but they like sunning on the handles! I need to get a pic sometime.

Mine has been in the coop for 3 day but they won't use it...don't know why. They go up to it, circle it, but they don't go in it. Right now it has Garden soil , diatomaceous earth and lime.
