Hen house flooring - help!!
« on: October 10, 2009, 13:29 »
My girls have recently moved into their 8x6 shed. My husband is moaning....telling me the floor needs a covering - or else it will rot!!! Will it? Won't it?
He's thinking of putting lino or oilcloth in there - so it's easy to drag out to hose off etc!! Feedback will be much appreciated thanks!!  :D

I have an 8*6ft coop/shed with cushion lining to help protect the wood.  It also helps cleaning.
It cost £10

But beware of the dreaded mites that might be looking for somewhere to breed.  :unsure:

I'm sure Mr RH will offer you further advice on the cleaning routine to prevent them. :)
He's very hot on the red mite problem.

Excellent!! I think I may get some of that!! Never thought of getting it a bit bigger before!!  :D

As for red mite - am happy to receive advice and help on that!

They had quite an infestation in the early days  :(  and I have so far managed to keep them at bay ever since!! The girls get a frequent spray or dusting, so does their house!! I also attack their house with dettol - which seems to do a great job!!
