    DE and composting

    Can you use DE in your liter if you plan on using the liter in your compost? Won't the DE harm the worms and things you need for a good garden? If it does, and I can't use DE, what would you suggest as an alternative for parasite control? Thanks Ray

    opinions, please.

    I think I've decided on the breeds I'd like to get, but I would love some input from experienced owners before I commit. Also I'm not sure if my choices are "okay". I was thinking of getting 1 or 2 Faverolles roosters, and 5 to 6 Sussex hens. Is it okay to mix breeds like that? Is it better to...
