Love our hens! My husband and I moved to a more rural area of Florida about five years ago, and one of the first things we did was build a coop and add our sweet hens! Started with five, but lost one about a year ago. (Not sure how old they are since we got them as adults.)
The summer rains here with the storms, etc. really make a muddy mess of their coop, and I am still learning what works best for keeping them dry and healthy! We use play sand for the floor of the small run, and I keep shavings on the floor of their nesting box. While I normally worm twice a year, once with Wazine and 6 months later with Valbazen, I am thinking of doing a "Corid drench" on the floor of the run. It is sand and the recent rains have drenched the whole yard. The sand in the coop is soaked and I am concerned that there may be an overload of Cocodosis in the sand and I am thinking that a good drench will disinfect the sandy bottom of the coop? I'd appreciate any thoughts or help. Thanks, Deb
