Does anyone raise their chickens without the use of diatomaceous earth?
My neighbor keeps bees and I don't want to risk injuring a hive with the stuff.
We are in the "clear the land and build the coop" stage of chicken rearing, so I have no experience yet.
It seems like it is pretty prevalent from what I am reading on this site. Just curious how prevalent it is and if people do raise them without the stuff.
If I decide to go that route, anything I should watch out for?
Thanks!
