🐔 Fun Fact Friday! 🛁✨
Did you know dust baths are an essential part of keeping chickens healthy?
While it might look like they’re rolling around in the dirt for fun, dust bathing helps chickens remove excess oil, discourage external parasites and keep their feathers in great condition. It’s nature’s way of keeping them clean—no water needed! 🌿
Make sure your flock always has access to a dry, loose area for dust bathing, especially during wet weather or periods when they’re confined.
Does your flock have a favourite dust bath spot? We’d love to see it! Share a photo in the comments. 👇🐓
