    Help! Cleaning coop w illness having been present

    I cannot move as both coops/run are quite large due to fact that I couldn't free range... When you say "rain may be enough", what do you mean? May be enough to keep possibly infected dust/dander from floating around? Or....? (Sorry. I've never dealt with illness and am in a bit of a panic)...
