Unfortunately, chickens don't eat at night. They get up on the roost and are oblivious to night activity. I have had some success with DE, but the biggest change was keeping the roaches out of the food. I put it in galvanized trash cans at night. It's a pain, but I really despise roaches!
The other thing that has helped us is the huge population of frogs, toads and rat snakes here. They eat the nasty roaches. I'd much rather deal with a snake than a roach.
EXACTLY, its at night when they are sleeping but yes they do eatem up during the day
