Hatching
Hello,
I'm newer to chickens and was told to use a river rock as the base to my run so that it wouldn't become a muddy mess. Well now all the poop I have washed off over the summer is building up under the top layers. It was suggested to bleach the run but I'm not comfortable using bleach. Another suggestion I got was to use a substrate cleaner for aquariums so the enzymes will break down the build up but I don't know how safe that is. Redoing my run isn't an option till spring. Any suggestions to get this poop to break down???
