In the Brooder
In my chicken house are wooden nest boxes, a wooden roost ladder, concrete floors and I think wood siding inside, maybe just regular "wall" material.
I have my little brooder area ready for chicks, as I'm having to get the area to 90° and stay there first.
I swept and vacuumed the room today, all cobwebs and droppings are gone. Should I wipe or spray down surfaces with a Clorox and water solution, or Lysol, or leave it alone? It hasn't been used in like a decade, for chickens anyway. (Just motorcycle parts!) it did have a lot of mouse droppings and there remained some chicken poop in the nest boxes. It was all vacuumed with a Shop Vac.
(I also cleaned the windows, and we raked and leveled the dirt run and trimmed the vines.)
What else should I do? I mean, regarding the cleanliness of the coop.
Thanks!
