LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Umm... I didn't know if this should go here or in the Chicken Clinic. Sorry if it's in the wrong place . Priscilla has been dust bathing a lot today, and by a lot I mean for hours, non stop. She seems otherwise perfectly healthy but this just seems odd for her. Lice/ mites did cross my mind, but we found nothing when we checked her (Priscilla was not very happy about us poking through her feathers, my mum's lip bled for a while thanks to Priscilla's sharp beak ). We also cleaned ouy the eglu today and we didn't notice any bugs in there. Any ideas? Thanks , LuckyChickenLover- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Maybe she just liked dust bathing? One of mine is always at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 One of my pekins whilst we was on holiday had a ball of mud stuck underneath her. My brother rang and asked why she was 'rolling in the sandpit' We checked her over and found it was a ball of mud stuck in her feathers which was annoying her.

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Maybe she just liked dust bathing? One of mine is always at it. Mine do dust bath regularly, but Priscilla was doing it for absolutely hours on end. At least 3 hours non-stop. One of my pekins whilst we was on holiday had a ball of mud stuck underneath her. My brother rang and asked why she was 'rolling in the sandpit' We checked her over and found it was a ball of mud stuck in her feathers which was annoying her. Well we did check her over and she was VERY mucky. I assumed that this was just because she had been dust bathing for so long. Maybe that was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Used to have a video of Cheryl (27 pound turkey hen, Rip) having a dust bath! Of course it was in a neighbours wood bonfire, she couldn't fit in the Tubtrug, It broke my heart when my camera got stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 I know the feeling. When my old computer crashed I lost a lot of pictures, including the majority of pictures of some of my earlier pets. I only have once picture left of the first pet I ever had, Lucy the hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
