mie did that lol

My first ones did it too, they were very happy to go outside

Well, tonight is the chicks last night in the tub, tomorrow they ate moving to the grow out coop till they are 20 week. After that they will be integrated with the adults. The grow out coop is adjacent to the adults coop so they get a see don't touch integration till they are 20 weeks. I am going to miss those on demand cuddles, but I know they will be much happier outside, with sand to bathe in, dirt to scratch in and along more room to run and stretch those legs and wings. I have the coop all cleaned and scrubed and I have closed off the coop from the adults for a week so they don't contaminate it with their "germies".

Mine only ever have shavings and or dirt. I don't do sand baths

But shaving aren't really effective for bathing. Dirt would be.

Mine grind the shavings into a dust just fine

Oh wow, then I guess that's fine since it's literally a dust bathe

Yep, once they get to that "special age" they turn to all those chicken antics. When I brought my first brood out I thought they would be bathing in the sand .....nope.....they chose the dead sod part of the run to *attempt* to dust bathe. They figured it out now
