Your chickens are already throwing dirt at themselves like tiny unhinged goblins. You might as well give them a proper place to do it.

This DIY covered chicken dust bath plan is designed to keep your flock cleaner, healthier, and dramatically less interested in destroying your landscaping. The 30”x30” structure features a classic gable roof to help keep dust bath materials dry year-round — because wet dust baths turn into disgusting mud soup surprisingly fast.

We fill ours with a mix of:

• sand
• peat moss
• food grade lime
• dried herbs

…and the chickens lose their tiny feathered minds over it.

These plans are beginner-friendly, practical, and built the right way:

• straightforward framing
• simple cuts
• sturdy construction
• clean farmhouse style
• no weird nonsense

Perfect for backyard chicken keepers looking for:

• cleaner chickens
• cleaner coops
• natural mite control
• enrichment for bored hens
• a dust bath that doesn’t look like a random dirt crater

Dust bathing is one of the easiest and most natural ways to support flock health — plus it’s wildly entertaining to watch.

Included:

• Step-by-step digital plans
• Material list
