Hi everyone.
I hate that my first post is in the emergency category, but I am really worried about my girls.
After reading here that Diatomaceous Earth was good for bugs, I used some last night in my girls coop. After I cleaned off the sliding tray that is under their cage, i sprinkled a liberal amount of DE.
This morning my girls were acting differently than usual. Not really interested in food etc. Is it possible that the DE could have affected them that quickly? They wouldn't have been able to come in direct contact with the stuff.
I didn't realize that there was more than one kind of DE, and mine is not the food grade stuff
