A good dusting!
Today when the chickens were out for a romp while we tended to the garden for a while they headed straight for a bare patch of ground with a dip and proceeded to have a dust bath. It was certainly interesting to watch and the first time I've seen them do it. They all squished in together and rolled around and preened each other. I'm hoping they are just doing it as a normal preventative thing and not coz they've actually got mites/lice...???

No, I think it's just fun. Mine do it when they can. To be honest I haven't seen it much this year. Too much mud and not enough dust I reckon.
