Maccbean Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We also decided to put in a dust bath today, another good decision! They love it, unfortunately it looks like it can only take three at a time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daphne Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 try a cat litter tray - we had 4 polands (bants) in it with LF orp looking on in a rather annoyed fashion because she couldn't get in as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomaxsmith Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Mine squeeze together even if they've got the whole veg patch to dust bath in!! http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=518006&l=c74f0&id=663092293 Can't be comfy - one of them always gets dirt kicked in their face!

mostin Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 That is hilarious, I'm still so new to this chicken world and they do do the most amazing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgirl73 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I put a lovely big tyre in their run, filled with a lovely mix of sand and compost. Have they touched it once? no!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Mine have a shallow tubtrug (bright red) filled with cheap compost. They ignored it for months, but now they all use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephine77 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Mine much prefer to use the vegetable patch,as the soil there is already lovely and loose where I've painstakingly dug it over - they really enjoy digging out the seedlings first and then kicking the soil over any surviving plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
