2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[susanb]

I have ordered some Stalosan F to sprinkle around in the new WIR we have built. Seems to be what most people here use. 3 questions:

 

1) do we have to get the chickens out of the run before spreading it about so that they don't eat it?

 

2) do they scratch around and eat it anyway?

 

3) how often do people put it down?

 

thanks, all!

Once a month with the girls out the way I clean out the dirty wood chip on the run floor sprinkle redmite powder on the woodwork them sprinkle Stalosan over the floor, then put fresh woodchip down. Once a week after I put the girls to bed I have a quick sprinkle of Stalosan over the wood chip.

I suppose they may eat a small amount whilst scratting around.

Only done this the once so I hope it's right

It's perfectly safe to put down where the chickens are . As Sage says, they probably ingest a bit but it's harmless . I sprinkle mine down every 6-8 weeks under a new layer of Easibed and all over the perches etc.
