lucyandlola Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi, I have my chicken run on slabs and the chickens FR in the garden and on my decking. I would like to give the slabs and decking a good clean and have bought some virkons s powder. My question is do I need to keep my hens away from the slabs after I have used the virkons s until it is dried and after it has dried do I need to give it a good jetwash to makew sure all the virkons s has been washed away? Thanks very much ladies, Julie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You don't need to keep them away; it is safe. I use Viratec P, but also use BioDri which is a powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyandlola Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks very much. I do use biodry but wanted to do a good clean on the decking as the poo drops through the gaps so underneath the decking must be horrrible. Thanks for your help, Julie.

The Dogmother Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 TBH I'd avoid keeping them on wood decking for that very reason, especially as wood absorbs bacteria and can harbour red mites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
