Dust bath

Should the dust bath for the hens be a certain size / depth. Or could I use something like a washing up bowl ( just been browsing the photos)

Anything will do. I like to have it deep so that when they splash about the dirt stays in the bath tub

Hiya. I haven't provided mine with a dust bath yet, I was intending to but they seem to have taken to one of my pots which used to have alpines in LOL So I'm going to just let them have that, they love the small grit in there and didn't take long to use it. 2 of the 3 have had a bath in it now so will just leave them to it LOL
