Well done! I am now concerned about the DE I have used in my chickens dust bath...I read an article that touted it's use in the mix of sand and soil. Any ideas on how long the DE remains dangerous to their respiratory system? They have of course almost emptied the kiddie pool of of the mixture I put in. Should I remove the soil from the area? Till it in? It has rained almost every day since I made the bathing area. (approx 12 days ago). GAH!! I hate when I find differing advice! Here is an example of one such article https://thecraftyfarmer.blog/2019/06/21/creating-dust-baths-for-chickens/ and here is one from google https://piwakawakavalley.co.nz/the-ultimate-chicken-dust-bath-recipe/
