We are wanting to add some drying material and deodorizing to our bedding in my 9 X 18 chicken house.
Would lime be ok? It is an old fashioned method for drying and deodorizing (the river towns have always used it after flooding). I know they also sometimes use it in horse stalls.
There is also a product called Sweet PDZ. I have read on the packaging that it is safe to use for chickens, but still would like to hear from anyone who knows for sure.
We have a dirt floor. There is good ventilation. Openings at the base of the chicken house and several at the top of it. Also, we usually have some wind or breeze every day. (We have wind so much and so often that our road is named Wild Wind) The chicken house is exposed to the west and north winds.
