A mud bath for chickens

When having a mud bath, chickens use their wings to flip the mud onto their bodies, feathers all fluffed up to expose as much skin as possible.
Hazel having a mud bath:
 They also roll from head to tail. Below is what I managed to capture. The chicken is not actually sleeping with its head on the ground, this picture is an action shot.
 
Some pictures of Willow now:
Please Hazel, my turn to have a bath!
 

Hummmm! Loving it!
Great! That was fun!
 
Righ! Time to go! Let's shake the mud off now!
 And finally, Holly is doing it too:

Shake, shake, shake!
