Is it safe to use lime in the chicken coop?

Stall Dry is like extremely fine sand.

Okay! I'm officially confused now! Do I want the Stall Dry or the Dry Stall???

If they are different, then I want to be sure to get the correct one. Thanks!

It looks to me like "stall dry" is the product to use. Anyone?

 

[ebonykawai]

Stall Dry, look at the link I posted. Dry Stall is more like a compressed bedding.

Thanks!!! Sorry to be an airhead. I get confused easily!

Oh, I did call our local farm supply store and they have it. Our TSC doesn't stock it, which figures. They only sell chicks for the 2 weeks before Easter, if that tells you anything!

I was TOTALLY confused about these two products until I actually found the separate websites and looked at the pictures of the bags, LOL!! I mean, come on, Dry Stall and Stall Dry???

How convoluted can you get???

You can send an email or call the Stall Dry people and they can give you a list of local suppliers. My Agway has it, too. Agway will also special order items so it's worth asking them. Good luck, I'm sure you'll get it.

Hey Stacy, sounds like I need some of that too. I asked Brian at Leggetts about the DE and he said they didn't carry it. Are they the ones you called about the Stall Dry and if so how much was it? And does anyone use the Eltrolyte Plus? in the sultry summer days for the chicks. They say its gatorade for chickens.

I've only used the Electrolyte and Vits on a weak hatching chick....

After reading the posts on Stall Dry, I stopped by my local Feed and Farm store to see if they carried it and they did. I picked up two 40# bags at $10.99 each. That seemed pretty reasonable if it works as well as everyone says. I spred some on the wood floor, under the roosts, of my 8 X 12 coop when I got home and can't wait to see how well it works.
