Gifted pre- fab coop!!!

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Hey Flock!
My mom is a realestate agent, and recently sold a house to a acquaintance, (they are friends now) and the home owners left their pre-fab chicken coop! The lady is giving it to me, and I’m pretty exited, but I’m wondering what I should do to it. I’ll get pics as soon as we get it, but looking for any suggestions! Also, would bleach be a good thing to spray it down with? It hasn’t had chickens in it for quite some time, but better safe then sorry!

Thanks! Now I have 3 coops... oh boy, chicken math

This might help alleviate the chicken math you(and your birds) are already suffering from...
....it is NOT an excuse to get more birds!!

Wonderful!
Look forward to the photos.
Hopefully it's not too dirty! It won't hurt to clean up surfaces with some clorox or lysol. If you have it, Virkon S or Oxine would be even better.
Let the coop dry out really well - I would probably even place a fan in there to speed up the drying process.

on my word as a chicken lady it’s for the separation needs I already have! Or so I think I mean, I already have a separation run.... DANG IT

Ahhh! @aart told on you LOL
Yes, if you are needing that to make your existing flock/situation better, then put that chicken calculator away!

don’t worry guys, I always have my flocks best interest in mind... I’m definitely not adding to my flock any time soon as my flock has a “no butcher” policy, and I’m already up to 16! It’s this spring I have to worry about North 40 is so good at getting rare and beautiful breed chicks in in perfect condition! I guess I’ll just have to send my mom in for feed until the Chick Days are over!
