Love your coop, and I had to chuckle at why the carpenter gave up on chickens. My husband is very similar and also a carpenter, but the cleanliness and lack of odor and flies due to the poop boards and PDZ are making him more comfortable.
I don't know what they use in Australia, but they may have a product that is similar. Perhaps asking at a equine center, the product dries up the urine.
Cate: I would agree with Glasshen. If you can find a feed store, for livestock and farm animals they should have a product similar to the Sweet PDZ. My bag says its a mineral, that absorbs ammonia and help keeps horse stalls dry. so you need to hit up the horse/equine section of your feed store. you can also ask a salesperson if they can get the product in for you. it kinda looks like kitty litter, mine is in a granular form, but they also have it in powder form.Ok I got to page 19 looking for the answer to this question but then gave up and decided to post it myself so apologies if it has already been asked. I live in Australia does anyone know if there is an equivalent of the PDZ here? And if there is what it is called? Thanks in advance.
Also you guys have some awesome coops I need to fly some of you guys over here to make mine for me!!
I am a real convert to PDZ on the poop board, I have used it for a couple of weeks now and I love it!
Now I'm contemplating getting more day old chicks. Is there any reason that anyone could think of not to use it as bedding in the brooder?
