from what I've been made to understand about DE it is made from crushed insect skins. Therefore it is microscopicly razor sharp....so no I wouldn't want to breathe it or let my animals breathe itI throw pottery... DE is in the clay and the glazes I've made... respiratory masks are required to make glaze... makes me leery of tossing it around my chickens...
Thanks!! I've used that on my garden beds, trying to deal with the fungus that kills my tomato plants. I'll try it in their dust bath areas if I ever see lice.
It's funny, I had NEVER heard of the heat mats that everyone talks about on here. I'l definitely see if I can find one of those at one of the local feed stores. I'm sure the chicks would appreciate it!
