    I'll post a picture of the powder when I get home but I did buy it in the cattle section at tractor supply. So I'm sure it's the right kind.

    Ya'll are awesome thank you so much for the feedback. I plan on getting the shed coop up and running as soon as possible. Even though she has lived outside for so long, I dont want anything to get my girl or I'll be heart broke . She's my familiar and I love her so.
