@purelychickens: Chickens 🐔 love dirt 💕! It doesn’t need to be fancy dirt but they need a place to dust bathe. Mulch won’t do! They need to get the tiny particles into their feathers. What happens if they don’t have a place to dust bathe? 👎Ragged, missing feathers 👎 More mites/lice 👎Unhappy, bored chickens 👎Stess and more bullying #dustbath #chickendustbath #chickencoop #coops #purelychickens
Do we all have speckled Sussex named Matilda because of Caryn at Five Mile Creek Farm? 🥰

Question- if your run is already sand, do you need a separate dust bath area?

My chickens get terrified when I add anything that isn't the same color as dirt 😂, I added dust and they wouldn't touch it until I mixed it in for them

Hiii I have a question! That all purpose sand in the photo you attached is medium gradation sand. I used to use it in my chicken run but I got scolded by a lot of chicken owners because it contains crystalline silica which is apparently bad for chickens in dust form. Have you had any issues with it? Or what do you think about using it even though it contains silica? It was so cheap I liked using it.

Are you also using this for the rest of the coup. It’s looks like the same stuff so isn’t it all just a big dust bath?

Are you supposed to mix it up after adding lime or just toss it on top and it’s fine?
