I've used ash in my dust baths for a decade, never had respiratory problems, however there is an argument against DE for that very reason.

I have 2 silkies one is white and one is black, my white silkie is always keeping her body low to the ground and never extends her legs to walk. I always thought it was a vision problem because she walks around in her coop but she still keeps her body low to the ground. She has done this all of her life, does anyone know what is wrong or if this is normal?
What are the pros and cons of DE?

Awe cute!! How old is your little dude? Can't wait to see the pictures!HI,
I had planned to take pictures this morning to ask for help sexing my four little ones.............
Then.........I heard the most pathetic crow coming from the brooder.....................
OMG, I laughed so hard....................He really needs practice..................Aren't they just a panic............
Still planning to get pic's. and post later today..........
He ( the crower) is all the wrong colors but he does not know...............Thinks he is a show Silkie
from his posture and attitude.............He is black with bright red and lots of it................Hope I can find someone not interested in breeding
to just love him.......................
How cute! Now there IS a white Silkie somewhere in the snow? We never knew we had a cockerel til he crowed & mounted his sister! Sadly, he was returned to the breeder who originally said he was a pullet!
Hen or roo?
How old is this little cutie?
