so my chicks are 2 months old and I think i may have spoiled them they dont ding there own dirt bath dirt at all it started a few weeks ago when they moved out side they have there little run thats about 6 foot long but for about an hour each night they get to free range and right before I let them out i water down the ground to cool it off (115) out accourding to my back poarch. and then i let them out and while i set there i use my hand rake and pile up a section of dirt take all the rock out and then when i get done the girls come over and take there dirt bath and hang out for ahile now i have noticed they no longer try and even get there own dirt bath ready they wait for me and then as soon as im done and put the hand rake down they come over and bath its so cute and sweet but am i doing them an injustice by doing this will they ever take care of there own dirt bath.
