Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Jenny Smedley]

Hi ,

 

Hope someone can give me a definate answer:

 

I wash my eglu with Poultry Shield & use Total red mite Kill spray/powder on my eglu/birds, louse powder & sometimes (depending what I have) Ant Killer dust (contains permethrin) .

 

Am I OK to add the chicken poop & bedding (Easibed or wood shavings) to my compost?? I've tried asking at garden centres , but I get a different answer every time.

 

As well as flower beds & I also grow veg.

 

Could some green fingered, knowledgeable person please take pity & tell me what to do?

 

Thanks, Jenny
