This afternoon it was Rusty and Freckles turn to dust bath together.

It’s Rusty’s turn to “help” Freckles
Rusty stood up, shook herself and then pecked at the dust on Freckles tail.
Freckles and Rusty
What an adorable pair of girls these two are.
Just in case anyone is worried about my run, the chicken wire behind these two girls divides the run into sections with gates which are open most of the time but closed to separate areas of the run at integration times. The outside of the run is all weld mesh and very secure. If you look closely you can see Speckles on the other side of the wire in the first three photos.
The soil this side of the wire is always dry and therefore is a great place for a dust bath.

Lovely to see.
They are so cute.
