Food-grade DE is safe when used right. I don’t throw it around like confetti. I sprinkle it in my 3-foot DE tunnel. I’ve been doing it for 5 years, and my chickens are very healthy! They’re feathered divas living their best lives! My videos speak for themselves. 🫶🏻

Food grade DE is still made of the same basic material. Fossilized diatoms. What’s DE’s mode of action? How does it kill pests? The physical make up of the diatoms. The DE damages the hard exoskeleton of the insects allowing their internal moisture to escape. The DE essentially micro abrades them so the get dessicated. DE is NOT recommended for poultry for a very good reason. It should never be allowed to go airborne. And it makes ZERO difference what grade it is.

I sprinkle this stuff around the outside of my foundation each spring. It keeps the ants out.

Just make sure it is food grade DE. We own a pool company and DE can be harmful. Make sure to wear a mask when putting it down

Wouldn’t they still carry these things in on their bodies? And I thought DE was super bad for animals with a unidirectional airflow respiration process?

you need to be careful with diatomaceous earth. it negatively affects their lungs when they breathe it in and be harmful in the long run. Barn Lime and First Saturday lime is more recommended. Barn Lime is cheaper by far and works just the same as First Saturday Lime

What a great idea. Lost my last hens in the spring and am building new and improved digs for my next flock that already includes a tunnel. Will have to make an adjustment but definitely including this!
