Nugget at 3 weeks and at 19 weeks. His technique hasn't changed!

My girls like a nice shady spot behind the wood pile, they like privacy when they bath




Another favorite spot. I gave up on trying to keep any flowers in the pots!

Betty's first dust bath since going broody- she wouldn't leave the coop on her daily breaks or for about a week after hatching.

This is my Buff Orpington named Manok. So curious when we came back from Sam's club. If she only knew...

Our Light Sussex hen, Sunshine was curious when I brought the camera down when she was dust-bathing

Another one of Sunshine

They were so disapointed when I told them here wasn't "Sycronized Turkey Dust Bathing" in the Olympics!

This is Cricket. She came here with a small group of hens that had been living in a fully tarped dog run. I am not sure they ever had sunshine and good dirt. The amount of dust bathing that has gone on is astounding. I often find her in the dusting area asleep and covered in dirt. When not in the dirt bath she is laying in the sun sunbathing. I think she is a happy hen now.

Not a good pic for a contest but wanted to share anyway.
