Much like us, many bird species, including chickens, find it important to take regular baths. Birds, however, prefer to bathe in dust. Dust baths are a regular part of a chicken’s daily preening routine which is important in order to keep their feathers clean and healthy. Fresh Coop Dust Bath is OMRI Listed for Organic Use in Canada.
Fresh Coop Dust Bath is a backyard chicken dust bath material that promotes a regular, healthy preening routine. This helps to keep your backyard flock happy and healthy and keeps feathers in top condition.
Fresh Coop Dust Bath is composed of Food Chemical Codex Grade (Food Grade) Diatomaceous Earth and Calcium Montmorillonite. This unique natural blend of Diatomaceous Earth helps to keep feathers clean by absorbing excess oils.
Add Fresh Coop Dust Bath to a suitable size container or sprinkle it over an area where your birds have already created a dust bathing area.
For a small flock of one to three birds, a large kitty litter pan or Rubbermaid tub is a sufficient size for a dust bath.
For a medium sized flock, of three to seven birds, a (wooden) box approximately 2×3 feet should be provided.
Finally, for larger flocks of eight or more birds, a kiddie pool or sandbox should be appropriate to accommodate your flock’s dust bathing needs.
Fresh Coop Dust Bath is composed of a unique granulation of food grade diatomaceous earth that has been designed specifically for dust bathing purposes.
Several dust bathing materials, including shavings, can be problematic if consumed. Negative implications can arise from the consumption of these materials, as they may accumulate in your a bird’s crop.
