Dust Bathing Addiction?

[Alexandra Runner]

Hello! I have an ten-month-old Easter Egger named Arwen who has apparently developed an obsession with dust bathing. She is still eating, drinking, and laying like normal, but all of her other time is spent in the dust hole.

She was injured by my previous rooster, Jack, with a shallow slice on her back/side, but it has scabbed over and I have started applying a plantagum major salve I make myself (ingredients: coconut oil infused with plantain and beeswax from a neighbor's hives). I noticed the dust bathing before the scab or the salve.

So, is she just happy, or should I be concerned? She seems fine in all other respects, except the excessive dust bathing.

Sounds very content!

I'd not be concerned, according to your current description.

Pics or videos welcome.

I’m my opinion she seems to just be enjoying herself a lot!

Phew! Okay, thank you so much!

Haha! I can't get any right now, due to the phone being goofy, but hopefully it will be working soon!
