    Quick Quesitons about Diatomaceous Earth, Worming, Dust Baths

    Thanks for the help. This Community rules. I think I've seen photos around the site, but can I make an area that they'll dust bath in? as in a box? or do they only do it where they choose? Would anyone recommend a combination of DE + wood ashes + dirt/sand? or only Wood ash or only sand...

    Very Muddy Run any suggestions?

    Rainy summer and a very muddy wet run. I think it helped breed some mites for my chickens, total bummer. I tried straw/hay, but the chickens kick and drag and push it all to a pile on the side. Would a roof over the run help a little? Suggestions? -Total NEG EGG!
