We just started letting our CX's out in the yard on warm, sunny days. As you can imagine, we are a little over protective. One of my cockerels looked like he was turning blue. He was off-color, laying on the ground with his eyes closed.
I immediately thought he was too cold and going to die. When I walked up to him, he stood up, shook and a HUGE CLOUD OF DUST SCATTERED FROM HIS SCRAGGLY FEATHERS!!! Then I realize he had scratched the grass and given him a rich, black dust bath.
He ran to the food tray and started eating.
Glad he is enjoying himself.
