Sounds like a classic dust bath. Consider it spa day for your ladies.

Yup it is. Mine sometimes get a glazed look in their eye while doing it - they look like they are in la-la land.

that's dust bathing...wait until they decide to shake it all out!!!! i've had small pebbles fly out and hit me while they were shaking the dirt out!!!

my girls did the same this morning. last night it rained for a bit and this morning in the outdoor run they had a blast!!
dug dirt pits, went into a wonderful frenzy and kept flicking dirt all over the place. for the first time that I've ever heard
it was like they were purring like a cat!! such fun to watch.
