your chicken is not crazy, this is what they do and it is so cute. does she find worms sometimes. Loved the video. Their poop is very good for your garden too.
What a beautiful chicken! I'm glad that you've decided to look toward getting eggs from your own backyard chickens - the way layer hens are treated commercially is a disgrace.
Out of all the colors I have for my chickens- the white feathered chickens love to take the most dust baths. So after having them for two or three years- they now look yellow and their feathers are stained by the dirt! But I was told that was a sign for a healthy chicken so I am happy! Glad to see your guy likes to dust bath!
Aww! That little guy is just having a dust bath! They do that to protect their feathers from insects like mites. Usually, a chickentaking a dust bath also mean it's quite comfortable with its surroundings and quite content.
Remember to buy chickens their sea shell meal to help them get their calcium for egg production and the grits for their gullet to 'chew' their food....
i go to the beach and collect old oyster shells.these shells,crushed,assist with the production of the eggshell and its completely natural.left over crab and lobster also works.hey,who said chickens never went to the beach!!! good video and good way of exchanging info.
that chicken looks as if its laying eggs. nests are most likely to be in mud and rocky areas becuase the eggs blend in with the pebbles so a harmful animal does not eat them. nice video!
I'm no doctor, but you are what you eat and battery chickens fed corn or grain are not natural. My chickens eat their natural diet, grass (which also contains B17 which stops cancer, which is why people have so much cancer now as farm animals rarely get fed grass, which is their natural food) & bugs, worms, snails, slugs etc...
Eggs from chickens eating their natural food, grass, bugs etc, will mean eggs which have proper minerals & won't do you harm like chickens fed artificial junk, or unnatural food stuffs. grains are not their natural food etc.
They say eggs from free range chickens lower bad cholesterol, so it's very good for us all ! The FDA/drugs companies don't like us knowing this, so they can sell junk drugs to us instead of sorting the Food standards out.
i love it when my chickens do that. one time 5 of them were all in a row taking a bath. you can dust them with food grade DE to help keep them free of bugs. great video. dont you love having chickens?? are they laying yet? My chickens lay the tastiest eggs.
I love having chickens, but lately haven't been playing with them as it's been so cold here and my hands turn numb and well i hope it get warmer soon...
I love them and the eggs are so good, but because they are fed on grass, grass contains vitamin B17 which prevents cancer, aswell as loads of omega 3 and healthy cholesterol which fights bad cholesterol, eggs from grass fed chickens are like a medicine for the body and so can be eaten everyday, they say unlike grain fed artificially rearer chickens. Also keeping them is cruelty free :)
cheers dude, they love my flower bed i guess, mind you they haven't fleas as I checked them over, maybe they also do this to keep their feathers clean ! who knows, will check but i tend to like them to live completely natural free of any bought things, so they eat bugs slugs and grass only. Will check that stuff out.
chickens dont like herbs so get them!theyll leave them alone and that it isnt mud wrestling it like us have bath in water if they have a bath in water theyll drowned and die so if u have a pond or anything like pool dont get chickens unless u build there pen first and keep them in!so they have mud baths lol
She looks very happy. Chickens make wonderful pets and it's very relaxing to watch them I have 13 of them. The rooster I could do without. Wakes me up at 4:15 in the morning.
he he ! I guess you should maybe sell the rooster then ! I am not allowed one, as they make too much noise ! Chickens are cute though, all have such a different character !!!!
I agree, i think everyone should keep a few chickens if they have a yard, they eat grass, slugs, and other pests, and make amazing tatsy natural eggs ! They will eat any vegetable leftovers like cut off from lettuc which they love, and get some rice, as they love it, don't give them much, a handful a day for a treat, and if you don't have much grass, you can get them some corn. Grass fed is best though as it's natural and best...
thanks for that ! they are cute creatures and people forget that chickens came from the Asian and South American jungles 3000 years ago, which explains their exotic plumage and large size, and if they had a curved beak and no crest, they would look abit like an eagle !
They are kind of tropical birds. I love them, they each have their own funny character, and are intelligent unlike what people say, because mine eat natural food and are free, so they learn and develop their minds....nutrition and things to do make them (and us!) healthy and wise !

"Invisible dust baths" are even funnier.
If you have any folds in your pants or shirt while keeping it in your lap it will do the exact same thing for no reason other than instinct.
Can't wait for this winter to piss off so I can let my little princess into the garden lol.

steffyweffy777 4 years ago
Actually, the original chickens were more like pheasants in appearance than the colorful birds that we know.
You can still buy them, they're called Jungle Fowl.
It wasn't until they were domesticated and bred for various purposes that their plumage became so exotic.
and yeah, I've had a few that looked like eagles to me. Especially when their beaks need trimming!

No need to worry, she's only dust bathing.
Chickens do that from time to time, usually on hotter days.
Do you have any sandy or dirt covered areas? That would be better for her to roll in than the rocks.
the tiny particles help remove parasites and clean the feathers, plus it just seems to feel good!
They'll make holes in your landscaping that way though, so be prepared! :)
