What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[Goldstar]

.....should I sprinkle Stalosan f into the run? And should I just do the run or in the coop too?

Any replies are much appreciated. Thanks.

I only sprinkle the run when I have a good old clean, rather than a general tidy and poo pick. This means that the Hemcore (or whatever) is pulled right back and the paving slabs are fully exposed. I like to have the girls out FRing and letting the air get to the paving and letting the Stalosan do it's stuff. So it's about once a month for me. I don't use it inside the coop at all - just good old wash downs and a snow storm of red mite powder and liberal sprinklings of Diatom.

 

Hope that helps.

I use Bio Dri in the coop but it is about the same as Stalosan. I tend to clean out the bedding in the coop once a week and then put Bio Dri and Diatom down.

 

I don't use a run but if I did I'd sprinkle it in their whenever I cleaned that out too.
