More than likely your local feedstore can order it. I get mine there .

I've bought it from this company before:

I'm not currently using it; ran out and haven't ordered anymore. I need to though, the flies are unbelievable this year.

I had a hard time finding it also and I wasn't about to pay $80.00 a bag for it as some vendors wanted. I ordered mine from countrysidenatural.com. It was $25.00 for a 50lb. bag and the shipping was $16.30 for a total of $41.30. They shipped the bag in a large box to protect it. Very fast shipping too. I ordered it on a Sunday night and it was on my front porch Tuesday morning.

ijust found a small box of it at my garden store but it does not seem safe to use around my chickens says it can hurt humans and domestic animals.

I haven't found any locally yet, so I got some off ebay.

I put the DE in their favorite dusting holes and let them help themselves. I also sprinkle some on their feed for a natural wormer.
