Why Diatomaceous Earth for Poultry?
Chickens are a fascinating addition to many urban and suburban homes. Fresh, free-range eggs for breakfast are a delicious treat. Many soon learn that chickens also make great pets. They are quite hardy and most of their health issues are preventable with a bit of foresight.
Because chickens want to look good too!
Do you want to eat eggs from chickens doused in toxic chemicals? Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring fine powder composed of the fossilized remains of microscopic diatoms.
Dries out cage floor waste, lessening odor, and reducing fly populations
Daily use in feed provides your birds with valuable trace minerals that results in better feathering and egg production
Add one pound or 6 cups of diatomaceous earth to 50 pounds of feed or seed.
Externally, sprinkle it or use a flour sifter to spread it around the bottom of the aviary, cage, or coop. Add to nest boxes.
Can also be lightly dusted beneath wings and around feathers and vents. Use in dust baths.
Sprinkle around feed storage areas to discourage pests.
Use as a white wash for roosts. Mix one cup DE to 1/2 gallon of water. Stir frequently.
