I always spend my nights out in the backyard of my homestead. Hanging out with the animals and my puppies along with making sure they have everything they need such as food, water, shelter and protection. It's become a nightly routine that I've come to love. It's one of the best ways to relax and close out a day viewing the sunset.
The other day I noticed one of my hens had taken a dirt bath! She was covered brown compared to her sisters who are white leghorns. I let it go for a few days figuring she would bath herself off but she never did and so operation "chicken bath" was born. I got my gloves and walked into the chicken run eyeing up this dirty chicken. I swear she knew what was coming as she took off and started running from me lol. She eventually found herself wedged between a thick dirt/root pile and the fence only to become trapped. I still don't know how she managed to wedger herself back that far. I slowly started to cut away the branches and scoop the dirt away as I gently helped her out of the predicament she had gotten herself into.
After getting her out she still tried to run but I was able to get her pinned down safely and took this picture of her. I'm happy to report she's all clean and back to "foraging" (I say that word lossy as they aren't the best foragers lol) and living her best chicken life.
Short side story
I've been leaving the chicken run open so the chickens can free range. Well, yesterday I got no eggs and was like what the heck? Thought maybe they laid them random spots again… today I found Kintla(my pup) inside the coop grabbing the eggs from the boxes and eating them 💀😂 She’s a survivor
Have an amazing day!
