    Is DE safe to mix with our chicken's dust bath?

    Please do not use DE (even good grade). I use it for myself personally and breathing so much as a small amount in causes an awful cough and lingering irritation. Now imagine you're a chicken surrounded by it, walking on it, bathing in it, etc. It is microscopic fossilized sharp phytoplankton...

    Hen drooling, not lethargic.

    My RIR has been drooling for a couple of days now. Nothing too bad it seems. The drool she has that drips from her beak will only hang about an inch or so before she shakes it off. However, it is mostly apparent as tiny spit bubbles around her beak when she's pecking at the ground etc. But this...

    HELP! Chicken in trouble - drooling, lethargic

    I don't care what anyone says, I will never dust with DE. I use DE as a cleanse for myself and know that until it is well mixed into my water, hold your breath! DE is actually microscopic, sharp fossils and if you breathe in so much as a tiny amount, you will have an irritated, dry cough. Very...

    1 rooster, 2 hens, newbies!

    Yes, we are allowed to have roosters. The neighbors that are housing him until we build our coop tractor are across the way and have a few themselves. Unfortunately, more than two hens is not a possibility at this time. Here's a picture of the little devil in question. He was very sweet and...
