What brand of DE is best?

[nettie]

I'm looking into Diatomaceous Earth... What brands of it are best to use for ducks. I see you can buy it from pool places, but I've heard that's toxic. They make food grade ones, but y local feed store doesn't carry it. Do they have it at TSC? What brands are safe to use with ducks? Any other suggestions on where to buy it?

Food grade only.... I have a very hard time getting it around here so I take whatever food grade DE they have,,,,

Yes it is VERY expensive to ship. As a true chick newbie I ordered from Wolf Creek. They have very high quality. But at a price. Its great stuff. I white wash the roosts and poop trays with it. Since I never didn't use it its hard for me to say how well it works. But my primary reason was to prevent lice and mites.

After I had ordered and shipped it I found out my feed store can order it for me. So I will do that next time. Not as high a quality but should be fine. It is food grade.

I have been thinking about using this as well.

Is the correct Wolf Creek site you were mentioning?
