Is a dust bath necessary if you have a deep litter coop?

I don’t think it’s necessary as they can just dig and make their own! It’s up to you!

I built a cinderblock dustbath. Then hens love it. My drama queen, Alberta, particularly loves it. She dozes off in mid bath and looks dead, then wakes up and finishes her bath. LOL. However, they do still dustbathe in other places around the yard as well.
