DE would be detrimental to beneficial insects in the soil. Sluggo is a more targeted approach. However, the link Degroovie provided is very informative. I should have been more suspicious. However, it seems like the hens are doing a good job of keeping the slimy population down all by themselves - I haven't had much damage to my plants, after all, so I haven't needed to use any snail poison. Yay for hens!
