For any members who *are* in Nova Scotia, food-grade DE is available from Ryan, the feedmaster of the ACA Co-Op on Dunlop Road in Brooklyn, Hants, County, Nova Scotia. It's roughly $51 for a 50 pound bag.
About the treatment for cecal worms. I've been thinking that the food-grade DE is a good preventive and all my poultry feed contains it at 5% by weight, but if birds already have cecal worms, I'd be inclined to treat specifically for it to achieve an immediate result and use the DE to keep the gut in good condition to prevent re-infestation.
Here are some threads discussing treatment-

Good luck with this, I'll be interested to see how things go.
