Regarding the dirt, I've read that it helps their digestive system and immunity by getting exposed to microbes. Agree with last post, make sure you don't give them anything that's been chemically treated. We do organic gardening and our yard hasn't been exposed to other chickens so I'm assuming coccidiosis isn't a risk right now. We also feed unmedicated feed made by a local producer so I understand wanting to be cautious and give them the best start possible.
