Diy Chicken Bath or Dust Bath

Do you want deliriously happy chickens? If so, just make them a dust bath!

There are many different ways to make a dust bath, this is our version.

Materials:
1. Something to surround the bath. We used tree limbs that were on the ground due to a storm.
2. Sand - research will tell you to use construction sand while more research will recommend play sand. As a compromise, we used play sand and added a gravelly dirt we dug up.
3. DE - diatomaceous earth
4. Wood ash

Once we selected the fallen limbs for our bath, we cut them the lengths we needed.

We arranged the limbs in a triangle.

Then we simply added the play sand and gravelly dirt. We sprinkled on a handful of DE and will add the wood ash once it arrives.

Lastly, we used a rake to mix everything together and smooth it out.

BATH TIME!!
