Change of heart for the chickens

Well research pays off, again.  As it turns out, Diatomaceous earth is really dangerous for the chickens and in the dust bath is likely to cause respiratory illness.  Thanks to The Chicken Chick, I have not bought this and they have plain dirt, sand, ash and wood shavings.

Here is a quick clip of chickens dust bathing, they’re not mine but almost as cute.

Thanks to Rebecca, Murra Mumma and Sharon for their links and ideas too.  Much appreciated.
