Is this safe for my chickens to be mixed int their dust bath and bedding?

Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if this is safe for my chickens to be used in their dust bath and bedding or does it have to be First Saturday Lime brand?

I would get plain barn lime. Garden lime is different and isn't for use with animals.

I think it could possibly be bad for their respiratory tract. Mine just use their dust they have in the run. You could use sand but I avoid fine dusty things for them to throw on themselves.

Thanks for the info will try barn lime instead then.

We use it all the time when cleaning out pens and coops.
