The original chicken lounge with dust bath 
Vera spreads her wing in lockdown
A bale of straw with a tarpaulin roof gave the chooks an extra outdoor space to scratch about and sun-bathe. It became a favourite spot and for a while they laid their eggs in a nest behind the bale.
This week, an added straw bale upgraded their lounge to ‘deluxe’ and, with their dust bathing spot nearby, they have a ‘chicken lounge and dust spa’.

After all the dust-bathing and preening, Dora admires herself with a selfie before showing off her fluffed tail feathers.
Vera and Betty visit the self-help health bar, with carpeted foot treadle, for a snack. Hmmm…Vera is in need of a pedicure…

I love all this sisterly preening!
