Snowy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know how much you all love piccies Mine make me laugh so much when they are dustbathing: Pom doesn't look too impressed at Fizz joining her in the bath! But then Bella tries to get in on the act: OK, I don't think this is working girls: Not very often they put up with this kind of attention, but they are not getting out and letting Florrie in! I do love'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Snowy they are just great photos - aren't they so daft all trying to get in at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Brilliant pictures Snowy! I just love them behaving like kids - 'im in and im not getting out!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 LOL It looks as if they are entering a competition to see how many chickens can get into a dustbath at the same time. Is that just compost in the tub?? I have a large planter and could use that now I have seen your facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 My Lily throws a real strop if anybody else tries to muscle in on her dustbathing spot! I like how they squirm around to get the dust in 'just the right spot', the funniest is when they try to get at the back of their head. Beautiful pix Hon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 anyone else heard their chickens 'purring' while they are dustbathing? I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it, but it was definitely coming from the hens! I love to see them dustbathing (and yes, Hazel, I put a tray in the run too and all they did was kick it out) - you know you've got happy hens then.

Lindsay Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yes Olly, my girls purr too! Usually when they're going to sleep at night, but sometimes when dustbathing .... it's a lovely soothing little sound isn't it?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a large planter and could use that now I have seen your facilities. It's compost, soil, sand, diatom and red mite powder! Glad you all enjoyed the pics. They still make me laugh when I look at them. Silly hens! Worth their weight in gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
