Fresh Coop Dust Bath
Fresh Coop Diatomaceous Earth is manufactured from naturally occurring mineral deposits in Southern British Columbia.

Fresh Coop Dust Bath is formulated with the perfect spectrum of particle sizes to provide the grittiness birds prefer against their skin.
Keep feathers in Tip-Top Shape
Dust bathing is the most natural way for chickens to reduce oils and parasites as well as keep their feathers clean. Providing a proper dust bathing area that incorporates Fresh Coop Dust Bath (100% Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth) will help keep feathers in excellent condition.
If a dust bath area has not been provided, your chickens may search out a suitable area for themselves. Keep dust bath areas under cover, away from rain and snow. Chickens will naturally scratch out a depression in dirt/soil to create a natural dust bath. Fill depressions 3-4" deep with a mixture of any of the following:
- loamy dirt or sand & Fresh Coop Dust Bath (50/50)
- peat moss & Fresh Coop Dust Bath (50/50)
- Fresh Coop Dust Bath (100)
If a natural depression is not made by chickens' buckets, old tires or large containers can be used as dust baths.
