Official BYC Poll: Do You Wear a Mask or Respirator When Cleaning Your Coop?

[NDJorgensen]

Never felt the need for a mask. I use a combination of sand and SweetPDZ (horse stall-dry) under the roosts and the only time I ever have a dust issue is when I pour a fresh bag of PDZ into the litter box. I just step out of the coop after adding and give it about 10 minutes to clear before I mix it into the sand.

No, straight out of the coup and into the brown bin, fresh shavings and straw in and done.

We all know how much dust those birds can create, so I'm just wondering who wears some kind of respiratory protection when they are in and around the coop - and when!

Have you had any issues from not wearing a mask?

I do wear a mask but only when doing a deep clean on the coop!
