I hadn't thought of adding it to their dust bath, should probably make sure the coals are all out, or else that would be a very bad day

The wood ash is good to use because it will keep the mites off your chickens

I put some out yesterday for the first time. So far they've only tried to eat it. We'll see today if any of them figure out what it's for.
