This is almost certainly NOT food-grade. (Safer is a brand of insecticidal products for plants; and the non-food-grade stuff is generally a lot cheaper). Insecticidal versions are almost always NON-food grade. Thats what I thought too. But I promised to see if we carried DE @ HD. The answer is...

Ok so as promised I found it. The brand is called Safer the SKU is 587-087. The price $8.97 (keep in mind prices may differ) for a 4lb. bag. But I'm not too sure about the stuff really. The Active Ingredients are... By Wt. Silicon Dioxide from diatomaceous earth...

I work at home depot and didn't know what it was until a customer made me feel like an idiot. She had something to say like - I guess you didn't pay attention in Biology? Well I didn't take biology thank you very much and HOW RUDE. Any who. Home Depot does carry it. Its in the insecticides...

If you dont want to wait that long try a store bought egg. If you dont have any ask a neighbor they might have one! You could always give it back after testing if all goes well lol It sounds like a good idea! Good Luck!!!!

so i don't continue to cover them AS they grow?

I am always looking in to new ways and new things to garden. So today I of course jumped the gun and purchased some sweet potato slips. I have never grown them before. I have spent the last few hours looking up how to grow them. I want to grow them in a barrel type situation. I know it can be...

Bake sale, lemonade stand, garage/yard sale, changing the ordinance sounds like a great idea! You may not be the only one in your area that is in this same predicament. It may or may not be possible so I'd start saving too! Hey if you get it changed you could have the $$$ left over for a nice...

I work in a big box store in a position that gives me the "power" (if you can even call it that) to say yes or no. All day long I give breaks/lunches and get walked on by customers. I think it was Macy's that came up with the adage "The customer is ALWAYS right" Well that is so not true. I get...

So would it be a bad idea to get a rooster of this breed and hens of another breed? Would I have to keep him all alone? I know if they were together there would be cross breeding. What are your thoughts?

I'm starting to doubt this idea will work . I think it may be too small. Chicken math is just as confusing as algebra after ten years of not using it. Ugh. Feeling a little disheartened

I hate to commandeer your thread but I'm having a similar problem. I cant figure out how many hens I can have in the coop I have brewed up.... I have it posted under My coop/hoop house/tractor thingie idea - I would put a link but can't figure out how . I fear it may be too small. I don't know...

I'm sorry if anyone has said anything to this effect but this has become a very long thread and I don't have the patience to read thru everything. I just wanted to leave a link I found. www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/.../31913farmersnuclear_pdf I really hope it will relieve some...

Ok so there is a bit of a debate over the egg laying. I think I'd still like to get one but also get a bird or two of a different breed. Something that is a proven daily egg layer. I guess be safe or sorry. But I have another question. Doesn't the quality of feed and such have an effect on egg...

Here is a link to pictures of both Roo's and Hen's. http://www.google.com/images?q=golden+l … mp;bih=586 thanks for the link the pics are great! I really want one now. Even if they only look half as funny! kelseygirl707 your little teenie bopper is Adorable!

Thanks guys, now I know what HE is. What would the lady's look like? Any thing like him? I want eggs and lots of them Are they good layers? Or are they really just good looking? Last question ... Where could I find one or two maybe four?
