Disinfectant

[SBmember]

Will "aroma controlled cleaning vinegar" sprayed in a wooden brooder then left to dry work as a disinfectant. The wood is porous and in our house so I hesitate to use anything that'll have to be sprayed or rinsed out. We have food grade safe for consumption distilled from corn and diluted with water tp 6% acidity. We also have white vinegar and apple cidar vinegar. Just want to make sure the brooder is getting as clean as possible. Any suggestions?

Whitewash it. That will give you a fresh start. Then you can put whatever you want on it.

Treat your chickens like toddlers at the park. A few germs and some dirt won't hurt them a bit.
Between flocks i just spray common unscented bleach here and there. No issues in my birds.

Vinegar is not a disinfectant, so don't bother. Brood outdoors, or in the garage, not in the house! Mary

I would be afraid the wood would forever after smell like a pickle barrel.

When they are available as options, we will consider.
