In the Brooder
Ok newbie here. Hope this is the right forum. Been in learning center so i hope i got this right. Anyway to my question. I have an 8'x12' pallet style coop. My roof leaked this past rainstorm and all my litter got wet. Not soaked but wet. I have excellent ventalation and i just put a heat lamp in to aid in the drying. With me just starting the DLM can the litter i have in there that is now damp be left in while it dries (maybe a day or two) or should i just scrap all of it and start again? I dont want to put the birds at risk or start off on the wrong foot. Any help and info would be welcomed.
Note: money is tight right now so most cost effective would also be helpful
I have 10 BR's and 5 BO's
Floor is plywood with a 1/4 to 1/2 of soil then pine and papper shavings.
The entire top is open about 10inchs from roof to top of wall
Pallet boards were adjustrd to close up gaps enough to not be drafty to allow airflow
Flip up storm shutters are in place to close during storms to prevent blowing rain
There is about a 6inch overhang around entire coop also
Hope that helps. Will try to post pics also
