I stopped using Stall Dry IN my coop where they chickens can get to it after reading some posts on here, and the precautions on the bag. Now I use plain DE where they walk or lie so that they won't get burned, but the area under my roosts in caged in, so I use the Stall Dry there. It makes a HUGE difference! Even more so for my goats! GOSH....For them, I've gone from changing out their straw once a week but never really getting rid of the odor, to changing it out every month or two. LOVE IT!
