We're goin' to China, kids

It's the chicks' debut. Everyone comes to look.

Ursa's first day in the chickery: she celebrated her first day out of the broody box as the hens always do, with a vigorous dirt bath.

This is how you dig a hole!

I placed her in the former location of the peat bag (the over flow spot), for premium dirt bathing.

The kids start to come around, Hey, I'm kinda cold, can I get under you?

Nope!

Stand back, kids, mama's getting her bath on!

She's like a round fur tornado, spraying everything down with dirt. Evidently, it feels incredible.

How about now?!

Maybe…..

No, not done yet!
