We bought ours at Tractor Supply. Go to the search area and type in DE, you will be able to find uses for it there. good luck..

I think the cheapest and largest volume I've found is from
Earthworks Health, LLC

I use it everytime I scoop poop and tidy
the run, especially after a good rain. I have
not had to use it (dust) the birds.

DE does nothing when wet, so forget about worming. In fact, I find DE totally useless and a total waste of money. Anyone that sings the praises of DE has never had an infestation, large or small and unless someone can convince me otherwise, I would say they have never had to deal with any external parasite. Don`t waste your money.......Pop
