A Chicken Bath

How do chickens clean themselves?  With a feather duster, of course.  Actually they give themselves a dust bath.  They scratch out a shallow hole and lay in it and fluff around flinging dirt up on their backs.  Then they stand up and give a good shake to get it all out.  The dirt cleans their feathers and help with mites and other parasites.
