I never could find a local source for food grade DE. I order from PermaGuard online, and get the 10lb bag. That lasts us about a year, so the cost isn't too bad when you divide it out ($38/12=$3 per month). We don't have a lot of chickens though: 6 standard and 12 banties.

Dose anyone else have pics of their breeding pens?
Also, What size difference should i have for a pen of 1 roo and 4 hens of bantams compared to LF?

I'm at a crossroads with trying to decide which would be best also,,small pens able to hold at most 8 hens and 2 roos,or building one large chickenhouse,with a walkway down the middle and the attaching runs on each side.I have considered fencing off individual pens,maybe 15' x10' wide,with one spot where I can move a "tractor" and rotate birds from pen to pen,as they eat the grass down,but also strong winds and severe weather gives me concerns about this idea.

I am planning on a large number of chickens the next few years,and want to plan correctly now,but since I will be keeping bloodlines seperate,large pens and runs are not needed,thus more expense in fence and work.

i just posted pics of my set-up, they are all breeding pens i suppose, they are separated by breed so i can incubate purebred chicks, heres a photo of the whole thing, my pens have from 3-8 birds each and are either 5X10, 10X10, 10X20, and one oddball shape that has a 5X10 and 10X10 combined.
