Food grade DE just add 2 lbs to their food mix it in it powders the crumbles or pellets if you go out of the bag take a cup or 2 spread over top and mix it when you see no more white add more but its 5% of feed no biggy if its too much its all good for them

When it comes to worms, best thing to do would be to consult with a vet and have routine fecals done. Please don't count DE to keep your flock worm free... there have been way too many people that have tried it and lost their birds to worm infestations,.

I can vouch for the fact DE doesn't work for worming .It's all I used for 5 yrs with my ducks then I adopted some chickens and continued to use it till I saw round worms in my chickens poop, I had to use a wormer and have had to ever since, I don't wait now to see the worms I just worm 3x a year for chickens and 1X a year for water fowl. Water fowl are more resistant to parasites than chickens but you can't see all worms with the naked eye either so you never know if they have them or not so I have mine on a worming schedule. The person who has helped me the most with learning about worming my flock is @casportpony and also Dawg53.Michael Apple also all very knowledgeable members.

Ok I'm desperate! I looked out tonight and saw my poor little Peck sleeping all alone while the peacocks and turkeys perched. I'll do anything to get him some girlfriends. I'm in Sierra Vista AZ. If anyone has any or knows or any, please please contact me!!!
Peck had a brother who was killed by a coyote and has been alone ever since. I've been looking for girlfriends but can't find any.

I use DE in my ducks food. But they are inside so I don't have a bug problem. A girl at my work who don't own ducks uses it a lot. She sprinkles it under her couches, etc, says it kills ants. It has many uses, I think its a good product to keep handy. In other news, Lily and JoJo got a dozen or more of fatheads. Jojo loves them, once Lily figured out how to catch them, she was eating more than him. Great end of the week dinner for my squackers!
