Yes, chickens take baths!

It's true..chickens take baths.  In the afternoon on a warm day you can often see chickens in a sunny place rolling and resting in the dirt.

 

Chickens and roosters will loosen the dirt and then roll around flapping their wings and sometimes resting.  I always say the chickens are having a spa day!  In fact, they try to get the dirt between their feathers.  It helps to keep the feathers healthy and to get rid of parasites on the chicken.  When they are finished they ruffle their feathers and flap their wings again to get the dirt off of their feathers.
