Paulbest Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Hi everyone, we have 6 lovely ladies in a Eglu cube with an attached 4m run, we have also fenced off around 25m squared of our garden to allow them to roam. Can anyone offer any advice has to what can be done with regards to the smell from all this poop they produce? We are clearing it up every few days and more frequently when there’s excessive amounts. Thanks, Paul & Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 We used to collect ours up every day using a 'foyer' dustpan and brush, which are those with a long handle so you don't have to bend down. The poo went on the compost heap. Leaving it on the ground means it gets trodden on and can't be picked up which makes the smell worse. But unfortunately there will be some smell, which is something you just get used to. When put on a compost heap it needs to be covered with grass cuttings as soon as possible, otherwise that will smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulbest Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Thank you, we’ve ordered some sanitizer powder to sprinkle around the area too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracieAnn Posted Monday at 08:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:30 PM Sanitizing powder might be harsh on their feet. Sprinkle some Sweet PDZ (zeolite) around, also called Stall Fresh or something like that. It absorbs ammonia and is great! Sold most cheaply for horses, though you can buy it marketed for chickens and usually pay more. Eventually also you will want to put down aged wood chips on your run because your lawn there will become mud after all the grass is eaten, unless you move them!
