Chirping
Inside my pen gets quite poopy as the ground is covered with chicken wire, and then a layer of sand for drainage. I was thinking on the days I don't let them out to roam the woods (have to be here to watch for fox) can I put a cat litter box of dirt in their pen for dust baths? Should I add sand or any other material for a healthier, more effective bath? Is the purpose of the dust bath to get rid of mites?
