how much DE

[charlotteda]

I've ordered some food grade DE to mix in with my shavings in the coop. The coop is 8 x 8. How much DE do I need to use ?

Thanks
Charlotte

You want a dusting.

Here's a link to Dawn419's blog on DE. She put together a lot of info! I hope it helps.

I agree with Dawn419. She is correct and does have the facts. I do it the exact same way.
