Agilityscots, that is weird, I tried our Tractor Supply here in Texas, and they told me the same thing. We don't carry it, try a feed store.You would think with all the horses around here, that would be one product they would carry.
I am really interested in hearing if PDZ would be beneficial in the chicken pen. We have been getting a lot of rain here too, and it is impossible to keep my chicken pen dry. I live in an area that can't have chickens. I've had mine for a couple of years, but this is the worst it has been for...
