I've been using food grade DE in my coop to keep things dryer and also have added it to the feed. Everything I've read says that breathing this stuff will KILL you! I've used a mask, but am sure that I've probably breathed some in by now (they've been outside in the coop for 2 weeks). So far me and the chicks are still alive.
Is this stuff just a deadly non-necessity?
