How to sanitize?

[backyardchickenfarmer]

Hi guys, I have this chicken coop left over from were the bantams were in intill they got there new coop, and The old coop would be perfect for quail and my neighbor just got a dozen quail eggs to hatch so we are going to split it and ill take some and he'll take some. Anyway in the old coop there is alot of chicken poo on the walls and wood. I cleaned it out as best as i can but theres still poop on the walls. so is there a way to dis-infect it? or do i need to?Thanks

I would think disinfection would be a good idea. What about a scub brush and mild bleach solution? I think that's what I would do.

I would also do that.

Spray down the whole this with a bleach solution, let sit so the poop isnt so hard, and scrub. Make sure to rinse good and let dry.

ok, but the inside is ply wood and OSB board, so if i get it wet its probaly going to get mildewy and fall apart, how can i stop this?

Open all openings and maybe run a fan out there.

what about using a pressure washer w/ something like lemonquat or bleach, then put a fan out to dry it quickly?

How about gutting the interior, disinfecting with bleach water solution, and putting in new board? That way you won't risk passing anything on.

mold will grow and make the chickens sick
