New to the site, have read and searched many posts though...
How do I feed diatomaceous earth to my chickens? i have read the rates to mix in with the feed and some say free choice. This is a powder though (and expensive for quality food grade). How do the chickens injest it? Just mix the powder in with the feed? Put this in a bowl? Not trying to be dumb, I just do not see my chickens eating the powder, they seem to leave the feed powder and go for the crumbles.
