If you got actual stall dry, they should be ok. I'm just kinda wondering though...I dunno if stall dry is THAT effective that quickly on all that rain??? A note for all those looking at or using Stall Dry: I went to my local TSC looking for Stall Dry. The clerk said that since "they aren't a"...

Gosh no! I haven't ever even heard of anything like that! When I get it on me, as I often do, it is so fine, it feels soft as lotion. I suspect though that if it burnt on your skin, you may have experienced it's incredible ability to absorb moisture. So it dried out your skin and it got more dry...

Oh yeah, I also ONLY use Perma-Guard. I don't trust anyone else either. Since DE isn't heavily monitored by the FDA, someone could just as easily give you a bag that is the kind/quality of pool filtration DE and say it's PURE, but you never know. AND the other stuff usually comes from another...

Not by personal experience, but that website I mentioned earlier sells the dustin-mizer dust applicator just for the purpose of spreading DE. It's cost more, but maybe it's worth it. You usually get what you pay for - unless you are a good runner:weee

well, you're very welcome. It's the least I could do to contribute what little knowledge I have. Course I've been using DE since before I got into my chickens, so when it comes to the chickies themselves, I'm always the one with questions. And I attribute 95% of my sucess to those who post...

Ok, DE by itself is only one ingredient in a bag known as Diatomaceous Earth. Sometimes it goes under the name Fossil Shell Flour (by Perma-Guard). It is available in both food grade and commercial grade for lawn and garden use. If you use it around any animals or children, you need the food...

You can use DE inside and outside your home and yard for excellent pest control. The more you use, the more effective it is. You can even use it in a spreader - but I don't recommend the one TSC sells as a duster cuz it gets clogged in 1/2 second flat. You can also use DE on any animal or HUMAN...

Quote: I'm from TN but our local TSC doesn't carry either DE or Stall Dry - However, TSC does have Stall Dry available on their web site and often they offer free shipping to your local store. As far as the DE I'm from the back woods here and most everyone I go to looking for DE asks me if...

Sorry to hear the probs. Glad to see someone knows whats going on with mine. I have talked with our local TSC (a degreed poultry mgmt person works there), I've talked to feed stores, our co-op and lots of vets...no one knew what I was talking about. Universally I got the same response: "If the...

Mosheim is directly west of Greeneville if that helps at all. I'm not sure where Cleveland is but I'm between Morristown and Greeneville. Show quality blrw's...they aren't even considered acceptable as Wyandottes yet according to the APA, so no there could not be a "quality" for show since they...

hey country i just got a reply from your neck of the woods NE GA... Will you please let me know when you have chicks there in NE Georgia? Maybe eggs too if soon. I have someone who will hatch for me but to integrate easily I would need to hatch soon. If not I'll wait a while til it warms up...

I am looking for some Blue Laced Red Wyandottes for sale - willing to wait until spring hatch if necessary. Live in Mosheim, TN (East TN)
