HELP! Can’t get poop off of walls 😩 Any ideas please?? 🙏🏼

[hannahsocal]

Hello! I’ve just “cleaned” my coop and no matter how hard I scrub with soap and water these poop stains will not come off I’ve since put a poop board down, but that doesn’t change the already made stains. I don’t know what to do! Anyone have any cleaning tips? Thank you!!

paint over it? or accept it and just don’t look at it? i’m glad this was about coop walls

What difference does it make? It's not like the chickens are having guests for dinner. They don't care and it isn't causing any issues. It's a chicken coop.

They likely won't ever come up, and even if you did, they'd manage to poop on the wall again.

I googled "How to clean chicken poop from wood" and you have options from which to choose. Have a look at the links below and others; you should find some good ideas, including using a pressure washer. (Which may also remove paint.)

It honestly looks fine to me? At a glance I thought it was just natural cracks or weathering of the wood.

It's completely harmless to the birds, whereas using a lot of detergents or water inside the coop has more potential to be harmful. Are aesthetics worth it?

Most member's coops probably look like they've been sprayed in poop and dust, just saying.

It looks fine to me too, but the OP is obviously very bothered by the appearance. I agree that yes, if they desire to wash every last bit of poop stains off the walls, would be best to wait until a hot summer day so the walls will dry quickly.

I get it, but having had various birds for much of my life, I learned quickly that poop happens. I'm satisfied as long as it doesn't happen ON me.
