Just put my chickens out in the coop tonight. Some went right to the feed, others immediately started taking dust baths. I lived on a farm the first 17 years of my life and I don't ever remember seeing a dust bath. It's really entertaining, in fact, if I had had a six pack in the coop my evening would have been set!!! There are at least 7 baths taking place on this picture!

I love those photos when you catch the dust and dirt flying! Here is one of my Buffs enjoying the aftermath of her spa day:

I have to crack up every time one of our chickens takes a dirt bath. Mike found the dirt we used to fill a hole in our yard, and he wasn't sharing with anyone!

The miscreants first dustbathing session, I call the four because one tried to topple the top hen, a second one hid in a shed to lay eggs and a third managed to get over next doors fence and scare their cat.

Food grade Diatomaceous Earth along with wood ash and sandy soil can be mixed for chickens to dust themselves.
