Hatching
I am new to having chickens, only had them 4 months and I have 4 hens, we had about a 1/4 of our chicken run cover, big mistake, we have had so much rain here in Arkansas that I haven't been able to get in to even clean out the waste of these girls for weeks.
Well we finally covered the rest of the chicken run today, but now I am dealing with gettting the dirt to dry out but what is even worst is the smell.......I have sprinkle PDZ on the soil and raked it in and I keep racking the soggy soil and even have a fan oun it so it will start drying out.
Will that awful smell eventiually go away or am I going to have to shovel it out and put in some new dirt?
Am I just wasting my time wiht the PDZ and mixing in with the wet soil. Any advice would GREATLY be appreciated!!!
The chicken run is about 14x8 but there is only about a 4x6 foot section that is still very damp and when I put a small shovel into the soil I smelled it and it will knock you off your feet.....
Look forward to any suggestions you folks might have
