I’ve read that I should add some food grade diatomaceous earth to my girls feed and in their dust bath. Thank you, what you write here is what I was wondering about.Yes, diatomaceous earth (DE) can be quite helpful in a variety of ways, especially when it comes to poultry care. Food-grade diatomaceous earth is often used in chicken coops and dust baths to help control external parasites like mites and lice. When chickens dust themselves in diatomaceous earth, it can help suffocate and dehydrate these pesky parasites.
Additionally, diatomaceous earth can also be added to chicken feed as a natural dewormer, helping to control internal parasites in a gentle and safe manner.
Just make sure to use food-grade diatomaceous earth and follow the recommended guidelines for application to ensure its effectiveness and safety for your flock.
