I am a bit confused about using this. I saw it in the feed section of poultry so i looked it up..I read articles on it but the articles contradict each other so i am at a loss..
one article stated to buy food grade DE and to sprinkle it in with the food but not over a certain percentage if memory serves me correct it was like 2 oz per 25 lbs of food..
second article state to sprinkle this stuff all over the coop as well, bedding, dust bath, corners of the coop etc...
ummm i dont think i should be spreading it around the coop right??? I read on the bag
"wear a mask when using"
So i read up some more one it and I am still confused as i was before even blogs stating to "sprinkle it in knooks and roosting bars but make sure the area is ventilated when applying...
Is this stuff safe???
How do people use it and why?
The more I read about it the more i read ohh its good but also it seems to be bad..So i am just confused as to using it
