How to take dust bath like a Hilltops pasture-raised chicken:

Step 1. Peck around the dirt, might get some tasty worm snack if lucky never hurts to eat before relaxing in a bath!
Step 2. Lie on the right side, fluff up those beautiful golden feathers on the bum, scratch with left foot to soap up the left side.
Step 3. Lie on the left side, repeat scratching and soaping up on the right side.
Step 4. Rinse and relax a bit in the glorious autumn sun, shielded from nosy other girls by the tall grass.
Step 5. Sigh as have to get up and free up the bath for the next girl waiting.
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.

Like Autumn Pumpkins

“I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the [hilly] [chook-fields]
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.”


— from the poem “Theme in Yellow” by Carl Sandburg, with edits by Hilltops free range eggs and pumpkins

"Afternoon on a Hill"

4/13/2023

 
Picture
“I will be the gladdest thing
    Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
    And not pick one.
 
I will look at cliffs and clouds
    With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
    And the grass rise.
 
And when lights begin to show
    Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
    And then start down!”
