I bought a coop that I found on Craigslist last week. It is an Amish built coop that I couldn't have bought the materials for what I paid for it. I'm a do it youselfer and always build stuff like this myself, but have eggs in the incubator and needed another coop and no time to build one and really couldnt pass this deal up. My fear is getting it clean and making sure its disease free. I really didnt even want to pull it in my driveway without bleaching it first. I unloaded it from the trailer and got a bucket of simple green and bleach and scrubbed the outside and inside with a brush. I really spent a lot of time and got it spotless. Then I took a pressurized sprayer and mixed bleach and water and sprayed the whole coop thoroughly inside, outside and underneath. I am going to give it a day or two and spray it again to be sure. Can any of you think of anything else that I need to do before I pull it down to where the chickens are? Do you think the bleach is all I need? Just a little paranoid that I might be bringing home a disease. Thanks,
Darryl
