We use bird sand from the pet shop and louse powder mixed in our girls go mad for it but it only lasts for a couple of hours before they empty it need to build a box to put it in

Thank you will go and get some tomorrow....

I have found a great bath for them... a small pet animal 'toilet' it is a plastic corner shaped scoop type thing!! From pets at home and it even has small holes at the top to attach it to the side of your run!

LOL MoS! Do you hae enough dust in your house then?

?? lol

I made our last flock a dustbath at the end of the big henhouse, but they didn't really use it much. Preferring the area I made them at the far end of the run under a sheet of polycarbonate which was on top of an old nursery barrow, but the new chicks love it. I just put builders sand in it.

Even soil if its nice and dry. Like the other year whe winter was very wet, we gve them the whole polytunnel!!!! lol
