Grand Re-Opening

Grand Re-Opening of Dusty Springs

A little dust goes a long ways.  Hens, however, can handle a lot of dust.  Fall, with the rain and the wind, has none to be found.  So there is the dilemma.  Where does a hen find her dust?  A hen must dust.


Supplies: scraps from other projects



My girls had a resort hotel for their dust bin.  The space was really the first story of a chicken tractor that since has found itself moved to a friend's house and is fully occupied with more hens.  My flock has been short a dust bath house for a couple of months.  That's now a situation looking for a solution.

Bath house frame: as big as the
longest boards available
Checking it out!

Looks like it's acceptable.  Nora (on the right) has an itch
that won't wait.
 Find that solution and build a dust bin are Things I get to do today.



Afternoon sun makes blissful dusting.  Violet demonstrates.
