Hi everyone, the title is a little misleading since I technically scoop out all poop from the raised coop each morning (small coop for five hens) and replenish with a bucket of pine shavings. I'm referring to a total coop and run clean out- removing all shavings, cleaning down the surfaces, and adding new shavings. It will be my first complete clean out since I got our chickens last April so I know I'm behind.
I'm anticipating this taking a while, especially the area of the run under the raised coop which is just difficult to get to.
I'm also wanting to spray for mites/lice in case my birds have them as well as treat the chickens too.
What do you all use for cleaning your coops and runs? Just remove, wash, replenish? Do you add any sprays or anything special? Does it hurt to treat for pests and clean for pests even if they may not have any?
Thank you
