Dust For the Poultry House
The dust box should stand in sunshine away from drafts, under the front window is ideal. Use dry sifted coal ashes or road dust in a large shallow box, not too full so hens kick dust around. Occasionally a small amount of lime may be added but it dulls feather shine. Keep dust dry, not damp or caked, and empty in freezing weather.
