Dust Bath for our Chickens - Reel

Our birds are not vibing with the -30’s and -40’s we are getting this week, so here is a flashback to warmer winter days when the flock was enjoying outside time in their bathing area. It’s kinda funny, when you first start raising chickens you will fear that they have died while bathing because they will lay in the weirdest positions ever but in reality they are perfectly happy. The same way humans’ soak in a tub they soak in dirt and sunlight. 

Using our homegrown herbs, flowers, ash and charcoal from our fires is an amazing no waste system. Some of their favourites edibles are lemon balm, parsley, oregano, calendula, marigolds, lavender, catnip and clover but they aren’t too picky. 

Our hens are slowly starting to produce more eggs as the daylight hours increases. You can pre order farm fresh multi coloured eggs for February 13th Central Alberta delivery and drop off by visiting our website.
