    How old do chicks need to be before using DE or chick grit

    I started sprinkling mine on around 2 weeks, I use deep litter throughout fall and winter, and mix it into the bedding, and have no problems w/ bugs. etc. I have read that it is bad to inhale though so I make sure to do it when the girls are out so they don't breathe in the dust....
