Chicken, Bantam or Capon Dust Bath

• 1). Allow the chickens to dig their own dust bath if possible. Locate the chicken run in an area where there is fine, dry soil.
  
  
• 2). Provide a cat box in a sheltered area with 6 inches of dusting powder in locations with stony or damp soil.
  
  
• 3). Purchase dusting powder at feed or pet stores or make your own. Combine equal parts of fireplace ashes, road dust, sand and diatomaceous earth.
  
  
• 4). Replenish the dusting powder when it gets low. It's not necessary to change the dusting powder on a schedule.
  
  

Duck or Goose Bath

• 1). Set up a hard-sided garden pond or kiddie pool in the yard.
  
  
• 2). Add a ramp or large stone to help the ducks or geese get out of the water. They will slip on the sides of the pool without the assistance.
  
  
• 3). You can also use an old wheelbarrow body for a pond. It will be easier to dump the water to clean it and the sloped end allows the ducks to easily leave the water.
  
  
• 4). Surround the pool with concrete slabs to prevent mud puddles.
  
  
• 5). Dump the water any time it looks fouled. This will vary depending on the breed of waterfowl and number of birds kept.
