A dust bath is an area in which one or more chickens dust-bathe. Dust baths are usually created simply by chicken(s) scratching around in a patch of exposed soil. They may be shared by more than one chicken, and may become quite large and have the appearance of craters.

Dust baths are usually created in sites with slightly moist soil or sand, but can also be created in dry soil, wood chips, gravely dirt, etc, if more favorable sites aren't avalible.
