Hi! I live in the UK where it is wet. It rains a lot, especially in the winter and the chooks have only wet ground to dust bath in. How can I make a dust bath that stays dry from rain and permeation of water?

It’d still get wet?build a giant well with a cover and fill it with sand
I put mine under their canvas shelter. Then they can even dustbathe when it rains.

underneath the old window is a dry dust bathing spot. And I have a big flower pot filled with sand (mixed with a little diatomaceous earth) in the coop.
Opening away from where the heavy rains comes from.Would a barrel on its side work perhaps ?
