Natural cleaners for the chicken coop

brownduck0234 · Jul 27, 2015

I want to clean my coop with something natural that wont hurt my chickens but will get the job done. I usually don't do a deep clean with my coop. So im not sure of what to do or use. Does any one have some suggestions? or any recipes for natural cleaners?

What comes to mind are citrus cleaners, ammonia, vinegar and bleach.

Just be sure not to mix things like ammonia and bleach. The result is very harmful.

Is there a particular reason you feel you need to do a 'deep clean'?

It's really best to leave a coop as dry as possible.

Unless you have a specific problem that might require 'deep cleaning', then I'd just leave it be.
But then, 'my idea of housekeeping is to sweep the room with a glance'.

I never remove ALL of the bedding when I clean the coop. I do deep litter and only remove what I need, depending on what the project needs.

I mix 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water and it works for me. You can also put Vanilla or orange slices to sent it
