munkee1965 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Can I put the cooled ashes from a BBQ in the chickens dust bath? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Generally not, as the 'charcoal' they use often isn't pure charcoal, some also has accelerants added which could be toxic for the hens. Wood ash (no coal) is the only ash which is safe to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee1965 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks. Can this go on the compost heap then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I don't see why not provided that you don't put too much on there and mix it well in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
