Thank you so much for the info.! It really helps! Just wondering how much DE do u pur in ur dust bath and for what size dust bath? Do u happen to have a picture? :)
I was at Tractor Supply yesterday, and I was talking with a lady there who recommended DE to keep mites, and other pests away from my chicks. She said to sprinkle it in their coop, and run and any dust bathing areas? I bought the Red Earth brand. Is it safe? It doesnt say it's food...
