Hygiene and a static run
« on: June 25, 2011, 16:33 »
We have a chicken coop with extended run that goes into a  large fenced in run (about 9 metres x 5). On one side there are trees and the rest is just ground. When we are home we let the girls out into the top garden on the grass.  However, what is the best way of keeping a static run clean and hygenic ?  I poop scoop daily and  I have been using Stalosan .  Is that ok?  Also is it ok to just sprinkle on the surface?  I just think I am not doing enough.  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not an expert and I'm sure someone more experienced will be along to give you advice.  I just wanted to wish you luck with your hens.

a lot of people use bark chips and replace them when they feel its time with a new layer

You need to rake the Stalosan F  in and then rake over the litter daily to "air" it.  I use Bio Dri, it does the same job and is a fair bit "cheeper"!!
