I was in TSC early this morning grabbing some odds and ends for my chickens and saw some DE and remembered reading somewhere that it is good for everything and can be used in their feed, coop bedding, dust bath, etc. So i bought some.
I did a little more research and am getting mixed vibes on weather or not to use it and to what extent.
Should i keep it and use it at least for the smell? And if its okay then when and how often? My chicks are 4-7 weeks old.
Any thoughts/input, or experience will be much appreciated!
I also just barely read it is just 90% silica sand? I have sand in their coop but i thought silica was bad?
