Cleaning out old coop

[bulldog-girl]

HI-have been lurking in the wings(pun intended)

So I am a New chick here. Have been wanting to get chicks. We have a very old chicken house in great condition, however it has not been used for 15 plus years. No apparent critters have taken over but I need to clean it out and wondered if there was some sort of fumigation fogger or somthing to make sure there are no past diseases or germs that I would not be able to scrub out? Does anyone have any advice on getting this show on the road? I want to order my babies but want their home ready before I get them.

By the way, we raise English bulldogs. Hence the name Bulldog girl

hmm i would clean it out [ well duh ]and i dont think using chemicals would be bad just incase something happens to the chickens but im not completely sure, just search around in the "Coops" area.

I think you will be very pleased with any one of these products:

food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE)
Stall Dri
Stable Boy

You might also want to hang a no-pest strip in there to knock down insects, especially at this time of year.

There are so many good ideas in the Coop Section.
