Oh that's a dust bath alright. It's so funny once you get used to it. The first time I saw it I thought the were having some kind of fit. Then they lay there with one of the legs sticking out and look like they are going to croak! What a hoot.....plus it's their way of keeping mites and lice away....and they said chickens weren't smart

My chickens LOVED taking dustbaths. That is until the recent "monsoon" in Maryland. We have had a week of rain, lots and lots of rain. I like watching them do it, and hope that soon it will be dry enough for them to do it again. Their coop isn't big enough for a dust box.

I was just outside watching my girls do the same thing...my mom thought one was having convulsions!!

Mine do the same thing! They have holes all over for dust baths

One of our chickens is real stand offish, except with my 5 year old. I finally figured out why today. Here she is pooring dirt on Beauty's back and she is LOVING it!

A couple of the other girls dust bathing

One time I picked up one of the girls after I had been in the pool and I was still a little went and she shook and fluffed and COVERED me in dirt, which turned to mud! Yuck!

Def. a dustbath! Mine do that a lot. & when they're done there are holes underneath them. So ive gotta fill them in every now and then. Unless of course i want to forget about them, step in them and break something lolol!
