There was this guy that came over to my house and he said that wood ash kills parasites and shine chickens feathers. Should the switch dirt into ash in this tire that I have for dust bathing.

So I should mix them together?A mixture of wood ash and soil MIGHT help.
You shouldn't use activated carcoal though because it will flaten the hairy thingys in the intestines. Or at least for humans.You can mash charcoal, not treated with chemicals, and put it on the dust bath. It does help. They can also eat it, and that may help to kill internal parasites also.
Note: I am not recommending if you have a brooder full of chicks with Coccidia you feed them charcoal FYI.
So it is dangerous?A little ash might be good, but wood ash can be very irritating to the respiratory system.
