Hey chickie moms and dads,
I am back with another question. I went to my feed store and they said they sell the food grade DE. I got a 40 poumd bad for $23.95. It comes out of BC Canada. It is called Red Lake Earth. It is the DE plus Montmorillonite Clay. I specifically asked at the feed store if it was food grade but when I got it home and opened the bag the stuff was a brownish red color. I immediatly called the 800 number on the bag and asked customer service if this was indeed food grade and safe to feed and use around dogs and chickens and they assured me it was. Has anyone seen or used this and do you think it safe to give to the chicks? Please answer back and let me know before I give it to the girls. Hopefully I did not make a big mistake but the gentleman I talked to said they find that the clay added has extra nutrients in it and is benefical to the chickens and pets. Thanks much. Trudy :jump
