In the Brooder
Hi, i’m completely new to keeping chickens and wanted to ask for some friendly advice and any tips you might have for a newbie!
I’ve just received 4 very cute 12 week old lavender Pekin bantams. They have a coop with a run attached. Hopefully when they’re bigger and older they’ll be able to free range a bit more.
This week it’s been raining and the straw in their run has become damp. Should I clear this all out and replace it with dry straw to reduce the risk of coccidiosis? Should I also scrub the floor (it’s concrete)?
I was freaking out last nite when I read that the coccidiosis bacteria can grow in damp conditions? I’ve been cleaning their house daily as well as picking up poop in the run.
