How often should chickens dust bathe?

[BuffOrps416]

I have one chicken left and she stays in the coop until I get home and then I supervise her while she is outside. She doesn't dustbathe very often so I wanted to know how often is good for hens? Right now she does it about 1 time every 1.5 weeks, but that seems too long of a time period in between.

There is no hard set schedule for dust bathing. Some birds do so daily others very infrequently if ever.

Okay, thanks. So I shouldn't be concerned?

No. Your chicken knows far more about being a chicken than you do.
