It has been rainy and wet here and there is no sign of the weather clearing up anytime soon for me to dry anything out. I noticed today that on the roof of my chicken coop black mold is starting to grow on the plywood that was used. I did fail to stain it with water resistent primar when it was built and the weather was nice. It slipped my mind!! I am wondering what I can do at this point? What I should do about it when the weather does clear up and how bad is this for the chickens in there. One good thing is that the mold is growing on the roof of the run so it is not in the enclosed part of the coop where they sleep....
This leads me to another question... I noticed now that it is winter time and rainy/wet outside if I do not clean up the poop in the inclosed part of the coop more frequently white fuzzy mold will grow on the poop. Would a heat lamp help in there to reduce that mold from growing and from it growing anywhere else in the enclosed part?
TIA!!!!
