Dust baths are amazing for keeping the chickens healthy in a natural way, free of mites and bugs, cool during the day, and give them unlimited access to little pebbles they need for their gills to function properly.
At the same time, chickens aerate and enrich the soil with organic matter.
True symbiosis.
