First Dirt Bath!

[juliaronan]

Ahh! My sweet little darlings went out today and figured out how to scratch a hole and take a dirt bath! (7 week old O's) The sun was shining and warm so I took them out to the dog log (minus dog) and sat with them for a long while. They lolled in the sun and scratched themselves out a shallow little hole and took took wallowing in it. Very cool indeed!

It's fun to watch them take a dirt bath. They look like Pig Pen, stand up, shake off and look at you like....what??????

It was precious! Just watching them figure out new things each day is amazing! They are the sweetest little birds!

I can't ever seem to get any good photos when they're dustbathing. I think it's one of those things that have to be seen to be appreciated. They're lovely!

I love the way they just ... Well what do you call it? It looks like the went 'splat'.
They are all spread out and 'loose as a goose', but they are chickens.

It's adorable, isn't it?

I like how they always seem to get in each others' way.

They squash up close together, and suddenly out shoots a leg into someone else's wing...

I just saw my EE chick (who I think is close to 8wks now) take a dust bath. Not sure if it's his first, but it was so cute.

I too just love to watch my girls dust bathing. It's been raining and just yesterday they all found a dry spot under the playscape and huddled together for their baths. It's raining hard today so I guess they will have to wait till later.
