What all are people using the DE for? I know for bug control, but do you let the chickens dust in it?, or put it on them?

Hi lynnae1,
I'm not a pro chicken person, but we use DE for just about everything. We mix a bit in with crumbles (food grade only), we spread it out where there are ant hills, we put an occasional shovelful in the chicken run for them to dust themselves, and most importantly, we spread it all over the floor of their coop and use a solution of it to "paint" the sides and roosts. It is the handiest stuff ever!

Christina! I just called the Tractor Supply in Sand Springs and she said they'll get some in for me, so please don't worry about the DE! Thanks so much for offering, though!

Robin - thanks for the suggestion to check at TSC!

Glad you found DE, the 50 lb bags are actually pretty small, so they don't take much space.

Welcome to BYC & to the OKIE forum. I let my chickens dust in the DE, I sprinkle it in the nesting boxes & on the floor in the coop. It helps dry the poop & is suppose to take care of any bugs on the birds while they dust in it. I am saying suppose to because bugs are so awful this yr.

Thanks! If TSC in the Tulsa area doesn't pan out, I'll keep this in mind.

I dust it on mine, put it in the nest boxes, and put it in their favorite dust bathing places outside. I've heard people feed it to their birds but I don't do that, because I think it needs to be dry to work, and the inside of a chicken isn't dry.

Looking for frizzles and light brahma's at poops. If you can give me and idea of what it will cost me for these i would appreciate it. I would like two frizzle hens, two brahma hens and one roo. The frizzles are for my daughter so the crazyer the better please.

Frizzles are awesome.
