Another hilarious thing I have seen often is when hens or roosters do their digging and scratching. Mine are in predator proof pens mostly, but during free range times, they roam to peck & scratch, churning up tasty morsels, chickweed, grubs, beetles, etc. Sometimes they really get into the turfing with their feet, And it is hilarious, Almost like they're trying to do a combo dance mix of Moon Walking, Electric Slide, Mash Potatoes, the Twist, Ice Skate Dancing & the Ole Soft Shoe, all rolled into one crazy dance! Then a hen will suddenly drop & roll to take the ultimate dust bath, sometimes feet in air to get the top of her back into the dust bath. Always, upon finding a fat juicy grub, the excited Rooster chortles & hens' fast jump up & run to Roo reactions are priceless. I love them so much, they make me smile as they show pure joy of just enjoying life.
Dustbathing is funny anyway. You can tell their fav Dustbathing areas, looks like a missile test site.

At least it’s not in the nest box teaching the others how to break and eat them?
