Hi and welcome to BYC! We're glad you joined us! Your little chicks are adorable!
My chickens make their own dirt baths by scratching around in the run.

Hello everyone!

My sister-in-law has raised chickens before and when she bought new chickens she said I could get a few too to learn. I am now the proud mama of 4 baby chics. I've been reading books and learning all kinds of things about these fluffy cuties. I can't wait to raise them and love them. How do I make a dust bath for them? The ingredients I found don't say where to get it. I want to make sure I do it right. I attached a picture of my babies. I have named them Lucy (Rhode Island Red), Ethel (Barred Rock), Sunshine (Orphington), and Daisy (Americauna).

Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!!!

Just put them in dirt- they roll around and fluff -pretty funny.
