I want to put pretty painted tires in the run for my girls to dust bathe in. Just wondering if it’s safe..lord knows they are going to peck it. Lol

And scratch it and crap on it and throw dirt all over it. Why bother painting?

So it will look nice. We added more girls to our flock so we built a huge run and it’s pretty nice. So I’m just adding little cute details.

Keep the cute stuff where the birds can't get at it.

I don’t thing things like signs with their names, and a swing, or some nicely designed areas for a dust bath, will hurt them.

But my point is it won't be when they get done with it.

Probably true. Lol

I’m sure I’ll still do it anyway. As long as it’s safe.

I used an old tire we found on our property as a dust bath and those brats choose to roll around in the dirt under the coop - don't they know we build them cute things for a reason?! lol
