\"Chicken's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, I learned about a chicken’s dust bath. When I first witnessed them “bathing”, I thought it was some type of seizure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chickens will find dirt, roll around in it, kicking it up with their feet, flipping it up on their backs, and getting it in their wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps keep them healthy by smothering any unwanted pests, like mites and lice and also helps maintain their feathers by removing excess oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be alarmed, like I was when you see it, it\u2019s normal chicken behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did some research. Dust bathing is like a spa treatment for chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
