Well...there are different kinds. To use DE to dry out runs, coops and hopefully cut down on mites and lice you must use Food Grade DE. It is pure white and sometimes called Fossil Shell Flour. I shake it out, rather than dust with it to avoid clouds of dust which can cause respiratory problems in some people. When you keep your coop and run dry, you will not experience odor from poop.
