I feel so ashamed!!!

[Jesseschickens]

Well I went up to the chicken coop to get the eggs and I told flower I didnt want her egg if she was laying it on top of the nesting boxes(they sleep there so they arnt so cleanI clean them every few weeks)... Well I feel ashamed because she was trying to take a DUSTBATH!!!!! This cold winter made me forget all about dustbaths. Here are some pictures.

Oh and by the way this is my red sex link hen named Flower!! and yet she hates flowers!

LOL, chickens are so funny! And adaptable!

If you want to stop the top of the nest box thing, put a slanted piece of plywood over it. Then they'll have to go in a box or lay on the floor.
And I guess you need to make a dusting box? Mine get out a lot because we have mild winters, the first thing they do is find some good dirt!

a litter box with a bad of play sand and a bag of peat moss does them well. just look out 'cause the dust will fly.
