I love seeing the girls dust bathing. You just know that you have happy girls when you see this. I also love the way the other girls just have to help.
Rusty and Freckles dust bathing
They are getting a little help through the wire
Barley and Speckles help
Emerald helps
They had such a lovely time and it’s such fun to watch. I am sure their little fluffy feathers are now all pristine.

They’re absolutely loving it.
They were in their dust bath for such a long time and Rusty’s head was absolutely black, she could not get any more dust onto her head! Maybe it’s her silky feathers but she is much better at dust bathing than Freckles. She twists and turns and flaps and gets every part of herself covered.
It must have been great for them, to b able to dust bath,
after all the bad weather.
I can really tell they are enjoying the change in weather. When it was frosty they would spend all day on the perches above the ladders. Now they are moving about the whole run and scratching around or dust bathing. It’s great to see even though we now have showers and some muddy parts of the run once more.
