Okay, folks, I've found the magic bullet for getting rid of all that thick dust in your coop(s). Get yourself a hand-held leaf blower, extension cord, and a dust mask from Home Depot for a couple of bucks for several. Put all the chickens out of the coop, open all the doors, windows, and anything else that opens. Stand in the door, dust mask on, with the blower on full power and within ten minutes for an 8- x 12-foot coop you have a coop that will pass the white-glove test, no kidding. I cleared two 4'x8' coops and a barn 12'x24'x12'h barn in no time flat. Just be sure to WEAR THAT MASK AT ALL TIMES and be ready to take your shoes and clothes off before going inside to shower; otherwise, be prepared for your wife's hitting you upside your dusty head with a skillet. You might want to turn the hose on yourself outside; believe me, you're going to be covered with dust... wear that mask(s); don't breathe it.
