We have had a lot of rain this year. A LOT. We live in North Texas, so it's been something of a surprise.
I've been careful about keeping the coop as clean and dry as possible. The land under the coop is a bit elevated, so didn't think it could be a problem. Just went out and turned the land and OMG! It stinks to high heaven. Like a swamp. Can't be good.
What can I do to help squash the smell and the bacteria causing it?
No wonder the 4-month-old chicks are doing everything they can to get out of the under-coop area. Sheesh.
