Keep Your Chickens Healthy with a Dust Bath - Tips & Tricks - Ask Phill 12

Why do Chickens need a Dust Bath?
Whether it's glorious summer sunshine or miserable wet and muddy winter time, your chickens will benefit from being able to bathe with dust. This week's #AskPhill Video looks at easy ways to create a dust bath to help your flock keep in tip-top condition despite the mud!
It’s a personal hygiene thing. Chickens need dust baths to keep themselves clean and healthy. They naturally produce oil on their skin that attracts dirt and debris, which can lead to skin irritation, infections, and pests like mites and lice. Therefore making sure they have some dry earth or sand available will allow them to prevent these problems.
