ktdot Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 After having to spend a week confined to barracks because the lawn feed my husband put down had moss killer in it, the girls have been let out at last! They forgot all thoughts of treats (they usually mob me when I open the door) and ran straight to the bit of garden they have claimed as their dustbath. They are now filthy but very happy This was a white chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I took a photo of my girls today dustbathing in the sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktdot Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 They love it don't they? The white Coral has softer feathers than the other two and the dirt sits in there for ages. She has a little shake and half the garden falls out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make the mistake i have & let them into the kitchen after they have been dustbathing... especially after you have mopped the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 They are lovely pics! That blue looks like shes digging to Oz in the last pic! Edited to add: oh no. I've just realised her head isn't buried, I thought that was the other hens head!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bantam of the Opera Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 aww, i lvoe watching hens dustbath. its so clumsy when they do it, mine have dug such a deep hole to bath in at the end of my garden taht when theyre in there you can only see mud flying about in all directions then their head will pop up just to check theyre not missing out on anything.
