Thanks for sharing. I know Dr Pugh and greatly admire him. But I know so
many folks who use DE for parasite control.....
think.
He used to bring his interns to my friend's llama farm for some hands on
learning. When I had my first alpaca I had her pasture attached to my small barn
and the chickens were in there. So they got to start going out into the new
pasture and had tons more room to roam around. It was very cute the way they
would follow her around. I only had 3 at that time and the one alpaca. But I
will never forget Dr Pugh being SO upset and telling me get my alpaca AWAY
from those chickens! He scared me to death, but I didn't really have the means
to create another pasture so I didn't do anything. That was 7 yrs ago and they
have all lived together since. I was up to 20 chickens and 7 alpacas this
summer all in the same pasture. I am not aware of any problems this has caused.
Maybe someone here has some input on that living arrangement.
Thanks, Janice
