Hi
We have had 3 hens for about 3 months now and we are having problems with the smell. The chicken poo is removed on a daily basis. We use soil in the chicken coop which is changed on a weekly basis. The nest box has straw in it with wood shavings in the roosting area. All chicken droppings are removed daily. They also have quite a large run during the day but the smell of ammonia is very strong and we are afraid that the neighbours may complain. I would welcome any advice on this matter.
Thanks in anticipation of your replies
