DE is dusty and yes it could have caused her problems.

What does placed on and off a bean bag mean?

Without a veterinary diagnosis, its almost impossible to know what is exactly wrong.

You can add vitamin supplements to drinking water and administer antibiotics (if its a virus, it will not deal with that, but can help ward of secondary infections).

If it's at all possible, taking her to a vet is the best way forward. At least then you will know what you are dealing with.

Noi vet and I was putting her on and off it so that she didn't overheat

Sorry for your loss. A necropsy may be a good idea, if its possible. If it was a viral respiratory infection, it has implications for the rest of your flock. If it's not possible, you may want to keep a closed flock, i.e. do not sell live birds or fertile eggs as a precaution.

I can't sell my hens aren't laying enough and my meets that my broodues hatched aren't old enough

Sorry for your loss.
Keep a close eye on the rest of your flock.
Throw the DE away...it's not good for anything, IMO.


You mentioned you just got her a few days ago????
Next time you bring a new bird home keep it away from your chickens for a few weeks....to make sure it isn't sick before you integrated them.

She was seperate with her other sisters

The de was food grade and natural I got it off of amazon.

Watch her sisters then for signs of illness.
DE doesn't do a thing for chickens.
