Stall Dry is fine in moderation, but I do not think it would be smart to have a large expanse of inches-deep Stall Dry exposed in the coop. Too dusty. Have you tried sand? It will freeze up if damp when you go into freezing weather (although, so would stall dry, stall dry is just less apt to *be* that damp) but I would not think in AR that you have *that* much of the year when that'd be a problem in the coop (?). For the rest of the year, BYCers who use sand in the coop report that it is very easy to clean with a stall fork, so I would think it'd be worth a whirl to see how you like it.
Sand or used bedding from the floor will do as good a job of keeping poo from freezing onto droppings boards as any DE product will, with much less expense, dust, or use of a basically-nonrenewable resource.
Good luck, have fun,
