Are they eating the dirt?

[ChickenChick46]

If you add a small amount of Chick Grit to your brooder they may eat that and then dirt bathe in the soil you put in from your coop area. If you aren't already you might put the dirt in a small container but big enough for them to get it and roll around in for dirt bathing. When they were real small I used a med to lg dog food bowl.

Thank you for these suggestions. I added some grit a little while back, and they do eat that. I also started putting the dirt for the dust bath in a deeper and wider old leftover food container, and they got the figured out quickly. They now enjoy flapping around and throwing red clay dust around my guest room. They're 3 weeks old today, so their time inside our home is coming to a close soon.
