Remove horse mattresses, layer lots of chipped wood. Use sweet pdz for smell management if your sensitive nose needs it.
since they are indoors in a stall, pooping all night, you might want to additionally make use of poop boards under the roost bars. Many people love them. They are just about 18-24” wide with an edge all around to hold in sweet pdz or sand. Birds poop all night, you use a kitty litter scoop in daytime to remove the poops once. Any other daytime poops will be on the floor/deep litter, but assume they spend time outdoors during the day.
Turkeys are an animal I’ve never raised. Dont know if they roost like chickens, or how best to manage them.
I'm definitely going to do poop boards... I still have to build the "furniture" as they are now using a temporary perch. They are 12 weeks old. Does Stall Dry or Stable Boy do the same thing as PDZ? My feed store doesn't carry it... Also, how well does it work for smells? Will it completely neutralize them or just reduce them?
