Ecstasy

Ecstasy for chickens is being able to dust-bathe.  

They spray dirt all over themselves and ruffle their feathers.  They roll around and writhe and close their eyes in sheer bliss. 

And if one chicken decides to dust-bathe, every other chicken nearby will try to get in the same hole to dust-bathe too.

Your poor chookies would be sorely disappointed with the amount of dust here. It's more like mud. Animals just look miserable if they're the kind that have to stand out in the pouring rain.
