If you have access to wood ash from a fire place or wood burning stove, why not put it to work for your chickens.
In my recent article for Community Chickens I go over some benefits of using wood ash around your chickens. Click HERE to read more.
Interesting. I did not know that about wood ashes being a substitute for dust bathing. Sadly we don't have a wood stove, but I may ask my neighbor who does if I could have some her ashes. I have noticed since it warmed up that my chickens are dust bathing again in a bit of dirt out in the run. I bet they would be really happy with some ashes. Thanks for this post, it was great :)
