Solitary chicken - need advice

[SnowWhite]

We have had our lovely orange rablu for about 18 months now and the outside is starting to get a little dirty, sort of speckled with algae/dirt.

 

I went out and gave it a good scrub with some water and Jeyes fluid and although it looks better, I haven't been able to get rid of the black speckles, probably because the plastic is slightly textured.

 

I was wondering if any one could offer me some advice on how they keep the outside looking bright and colourful? I'm not a clean freak, it's just that I love to see the colour in the garden!

Try a pressure washer

Good idea - a Christmas present for the Oh I think!

Pressure washer a good idea - also there is a lot of advice that says never use Jeyes fluid - actually it is to avoid any cloudy disinfectants as they can be harmful to chickens.

I can confirm that a pressure washer does the trick! Wasn't Santa thoughtful when he brought one for OH this Christmas!

thats clever, ask Santa for something that you will use yourself - very resourceful
