KateP Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have seen my two chickens have quite a few dust baths but yesterday they dug a big hole in one of my borders and had a really good bath in there. I heard them making a purring type noise which I've not heard before - it sounded lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 yes - it's like a little purring singing noise - I love it too & it's when they are very happy! Like little squeals of delight! So you have very happy chooks!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktdot Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I noticed mine making that noise the other day when they all crammed into the dustbath they've made in the border. I'd never heard it before. They were in a little patch of sunshine and the looks on their faces was of sheer bliss! PS Bad idea getting a white chicken. She was filthy by the time they'd finished!

Joojoo Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 What a gorgeous photo. I wish I'd heard mine making that noise They haven't been out and about quite as much recently as they have developed an obsessional compulsive disorder over one of my favourite plants and keep pulling it up - there's nearly none left now bad chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
