CAPTION: Dust Bathing
<< back next >>
Caption:  Chickens love to take dust baths! This is when they dig themselves a hole in the ground and get as dirty as possible, rolling around in it like dogs. This actually has an important health function: dust bathing kills lice, mites and other pests, essentially by asphyxiating them.
