Diatomaceous Earth is a poultry-keeper's best friend. It's a 100% natural treatment for all manner of poultry ailments including intestinal worms, mites and lice. It's completely safe and non-toxic. Diatomaceous earth is an abrasive, fine white powder made of the tiny fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of algae. Ours is food-grade, so it's completely safe for your pet chickens and to eat eggs. Add 1 pound for every 50 pounds of feed to prevent and treat worms, and sprinkle some in the nest box, run and coop bedding to prevent/treat mites and lice. (You can also use it in your house to treat ant infestations!)

Note: Please select Ground Shipping when you check out. Orders take 4-5 business days to arrive.
