hens self medicate for pest control

I finally got a pic of 2 of the girls doing their dust bath in the wood ashes. Bet there's not any pests on these two.

Nice pic! I love to watch my flock dust bathe. Good grief, can they ever fling that stuff far!

My favorite is when they suprise attack me. I'll walk out to them and they popped up before I got there because they heard me and when I am in close proximity, they let it fly and the shrapnel gets me good.
