For all the peeps in Ohio. I ahve a question. I am about to order some critically endangered Buckeye chickens. I am in the Canton are. I can only order a group of twelve and do not need twelve would anyone be interested? I will keep two or three and the rest will sell. This is a very unique dual purpose breed started in Ohio many years ago and is in danger of extinction. I will deliver for an additional gas fee to anyone near Canton that would like some. Anyone interested in preserving this breed, they are descent layers of brown eggs too.

Cedar Point area here, big 4-Hers with a problem this year. We have lost most of our chickens to raiders and looking for some replacements. Anyone with Welsummers under a year willing to help would be so welcomed. We live in an unincorporated town about 30 min. from the point, and have a zoo! Ferrets are my prize so I adopt whenever possible, 5 at present. 4 dogs, and many stray cats have found homes here. Life time Buckeye so far! Mom, Dad, 2 teens & a 21er and the rest of the zoo. Bring 'em on!

!!! There are members on here who sell DE; I've bought some from them and it was excellent quality. Just can't remember their ID's...if you do a search on "food grade DE" you should be able to find them. Or start a thread and hopefully they'll respond.

What is DE for?

 

[babymakes6]

Acre of Blessings sells DE, check her signature

Also, Lowes sells organic certified DE in the 4# bag for about $9.00, check in the Lawn & Garden department.
Another place you can get it is Berlin Seeds in Millersburg, OH. It is $7.75 for 4# or $16.00 for 15# Phone is: 1-877-464-0892 or 1-330-893-2091. I get their catalogs and that is what it is listed for in there. Hope this helps!

It has many uses but mostly as a natural insect killer/repellent.

Alot of people use it in their coops and dust the chickens with it.
