can anybody tell me if diatomaceous earth have a life span on it. I have a hen that has totally stopped laying eggs and I have noticed that she has lost a lot of feathers down around her vent and bottom earea . When I picked her up I noticed she was really raw looking and red and noticed a small flea like bug run on her. I totally keep diatomaceous earth in the coop area and in the sand area where they dust bath. I buy it by the 50 lb bag and store it in a plastic container out side by their coop. I go through it in about a month or two. Does this stuff have a life span on it, and did it sound like mites or lice that she has and if anybody has any info it would be greatly appreciated no close avian in this area.
thank you
