Hi to all Kiwis
I've been reading of the supersonic benefits of Diatomaceous Earth which seems to sell for around $25 per 50 pounds in the US while the only stuff I can find here is from online health food sellers and costs about $15 per 300 grams. As much as I'd like to try it, that's way too much for my three chickens.
Has anyone found a feed store that sells it here, preferably in the South Island? I'm near Greymouth but would get it from anywhere if the price was right and I'm always up for a road trip.
My three NH Reds are about ten weeks old and today is the first time they have seen rain (contrary to the popular view that it's always raining on the Coast). They are outside now (their choice) and will be wet in an hour when they go inside. I think some DE would be a great thing in their coop.
Thanks to all.
