Is your coop really Dusty???? Why???

[Ron737]

breathing dust from chicken coops can be dangerous. You can get Histoplasmosis capsulatum which may give you a bad cough for awhile or lead to more serious lung problems or other problems in your body. use a full face mask and get all the dust out anc change the litter often. please look this up on line and read about it yourself. Right now I have a very bad cough I believe from my very dusty coop.

I did a Spring Clean on my coop a couple of weekends ago. After 5-6 LONG, COLD Minnesota months with those chickens living pretty much 24/7 inside, it was a wreck. I used to just open all the doors/windows and sweep down the rafters and the walls before washing, but Joebryant gave me a great idea and it worked like a charm: hit that bad boy with the leaf blower. Seriously, the quantities of dust evicted from my chicken coop were epic. And that was after I had already swept down the rafters and the walls -- pretty incredible.

Don't breath that stuff in.
