Dust baths

[backyardblight]

Hi I have had 3 hens for about 6 weeks and I have only seen them have 1 dust bath. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to encourage them to have dust baths more often

Young chickens will usually on their own take care of their hygiene. But you can make the place easier to get to and add a little more dust every once in awhile to upkeep it. And I know chickens also enjoy sun basking. You can encourage this by creating a sunny spot on a slanted landscape (that's what ours enjoy anyways).
