Can DE with calcium bentonite, it's gray, be used in the coop and nest boxes

DE should not be used around chickens or anything that breathes.
This is good for mites,lice and other nasties.

Best not to use insecticide unless there is an active pest problem.
Using it preventatively can cause resistance.
