Ever wondered how chickens take a bath?
Yesterday we let the ladies out to roam around our place, and a group of them made a beeline for the dry spot beneath the eaves of the house. I figured there must have been something really exciting going on over there to compete with all the bugs and tender little weeds out in the field, so I went over to check it out.
They all lined up like they were waiting their turn for a facial at the salon.
Pretty soon one, then another started rolling around and ruffling their feathers.
It was an all-out dust bath extravaganza.
“Excuse me!” “Pardon me!” “Don’t mind if I roll over on you?”
These girls really know how to kick up their heels!
Thanks for the smile! I love this. Chicken baths are so cute to watch.
what!! adorable!
Question: answered! Very cute.
Thanks for posting! It made me laugh out loud 🙂
I so wish I could have some chickens!
Ahhh…I dream of chickens too. The hubby says NO WAY until we have more space, he isn't interested in the suburban farm yard. lol…but ONE DAY…I feel it.

I might be a little radical in my views on poultry, but I think everyone should be able to have chickens! People keep them in backyards, in rooftop gardens, and even indoors (if you haven't heard of chicken diapers, check out the new issue of Maryjane's Farm…although I don't know if I'd go so far as to keep a hen as a housepet.)
