lollyfry Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've just been out cleaning the girls next box and think I've been a bit heavy handed with the diatom powder!! Will this do any harm to the girls? (one of them got covered in it as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 It isn't a good idea to let them breathe in vast amounts. Might be a good idea to let the dust settle before you let them back in the Eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollyfry Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks, they don't normally go back into the coop until bedtime so hopefully it will have all settled by then! oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 And it's not a good idea for you to be breathing it in either. Much as I rate it as a product, I stopped using it as I have asthma and am not keen on risking making it worse. Of course an option is to wear a mask but I don't like that either. Am I contrary or what!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
