HUGE Newbie Mistake. Please HELP

[TLWR]

The smell lingers. I had 3 ducks in my back bathroom tub for not quite a week last year. Yuck. I still think I can smell it.

For your tub. Fill to the jets and dump a bunch of baking soda in. Run it for a bit. Drain. Let dry, but leave baking soda in the drain with water (so if you rinse the tub after the jets, make sure to pour more baking soda down the drain and let it sit in the trap overnight.
Can also try running the jets with vinegar.
Leave a bowl of baking soda sitting on the floor of the tub and maybe a few around the bathroom for a few days.

Was everything in your bathroom.
Wipe everything in your bathroom down.
Invest in good air freshener (wood wick makes a good glass bottle with wood top diffuser that works really well)


When we moved into this house, several kitchen cabinets smelled like farm. I put baking soda in them in dishes. I still think I can smell farm in there now and then, but nothing like it was.

Baking soda left around your bathroom should knock out the smell in a day or two. Try flushing the drain with vinegar.

The Glade plug ins work well, get the purple ones (lavender scent). The kind that plug into the wall. I went on vacation and came back to a stinky house (house sitter didn't change the chick's bedding) took a long time to get the smell out of the air/off walls etc. Trust me it will work for you!

Do NOT use Glade Plug-Ins, Febreeze products, or other scent producing air fresheners around any pet birds. They have killed many, many birds through respiratory distress/failure. I'd imagine chickens aren't as sensitive to it, but I still would avoid using them at all costs.

She's not talking about putting them in the coop with the birds.. she's talking about putting them in the bathroom now that the birds have been moved elsewhere. There's no danger there.

I say this in case she has any other birds in the house and wants to try one of these products.
