iggyigster Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Hi, I've put together a pernament run/enclosure for my two hens which is bare earth covered with hardwood chippings. When cleaning my plan is to use one of those spray pumps with disinfectat in it and then rake over. Does this sound right and any recommendations for a disolvable disinfectant?

ClaireG Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'd use a powderd disinfectant such as Stalosan F. http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Stalosan_F_Disinfectant.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yup, while you could use a spray disinfectant like Virkon or Viratec, you'd be better off using a powder as chickens don't like damp litter. I used to use Stalosan but now use BioDri, which I find to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txswanie Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Can anyone in The States tell me where I can get a dry disinfectant or even just the name of one. I cant find this anywhere. Thanks Colette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I don't know I'm afraid, but perhaps if you contacted the makers of Stalosan and BioDri, they might be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
