Hello!

[patty922]

I I just joined today but have been reading posts and info for a few months now. We have two adorable girls and a castle for a coop. At least we think so . Have a few questions about the use and purpose of the DE. Have been feeding them all organize grower and produce. Hope to make some chicken friends here

Nice to meet you Patty. Personally I have never found DE to do any of the things they say it does. I think it's just a' placebo effect' folks expect it to work so they are sure it does - despite no improvements.

i know it is all so confusing. this is my first time hosting two chickens and i dont want them to get mites or anything else wrong with them. I do a lot of reading and have two books and hear so much about the DE
