I love seeing the girls dust bathing. It is usually a communal thing but one thing that can always be guaranteed is that Peaches and Barley will always dust bath together.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a>

Three girls dust bathing together<\/p><\/div>\n

Speckles is nearby but never quite as close as these two girls are.<\/p>\n

\"Emerald<\/a>

Emerald and Butterscotch join the three girls<\/p><\/div>\n

Peaches and Barley appear to have their heads together having a bit of a gossip.<\/p>\n

\"Peaches<\/a>

Peaches and Barley watch Speckles with interest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Emerald<\/a>

Emerald settles near by<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Toffee<\/a>

Toffee sits on her own<\/p><\/div>\n

Another view of Butterscotch’s feathers<\/p><\/div>\n
