I have some things that need to be cleaned prior to new birds using them--nest boxes, a small coop, a hutch, etc. All made of wood and wire, except one plastic nest box (a re-purposed litter box). I know what to use for dogs/puppies, but I'm worried about "overkill" with the chickens. I understand that birds are more sensitive to chemicals, so I don't want to overdo it, but at the same time, I want everything to be nice and clean.
If you use bleach, what's the proper dilution ratio with water? Do you soak wood with this solution and then let it completely dry? What about cleaning wire or plastic? Do you do it any differently for adult birds than for baby chicks?
Help!
