[bosoxbratt]

Hiya All,
Can anyone tell me the best place to find DE? I have called all around here in Indiana and no one knows what I am talking about? I keep hearing the same thing "never heard of it" Have given the other names fossil flour as well but no luck :-(
They tend to look at us as we are nuts when we explain why we want it for the chickens lol
Any help wouyld be appreciated TY

Here's a good thread with DE site information

I use Stall Dry or PDZ most farm stores have one or the other. They do essentially the same job as DE.

You've tried all of the feed stores and farmers co-ops?

Usually they can order some in for you and have it delivered with a normal shipment to save on shipping costs.

I ordered some from Murray McMurray hatchery, smaller sized bags but it's available there.

I ordered some off ebay. I think it was about $20 for a 9 pound bag.

Countryside Naturals has it in the 50# bags, the shipping isn't too outrageous either. Another bycer had posted this originally. I had it shipped to East Syracuse, NY and it cost me 43.00 and that is with the shipping. Here's the link:

I went to a local feed store (Mize in Johnson City) and they had it for $32.00. It was #30.00 on EBay or online vendors with $30.00 in shipping charges.

I work for a business that distributes food grade DE (perma-guard). We have it starting at $3.80 for a 3qt bag up to $22.05 for 50lb bag. If you are interested in having some shipped, send me your zip code and I will find out what it would cost. It would be shipping from TX.
