SWEET PDZ

That's on Amazon.ca (Canadian version) with shipping included. It is not available at our TSC stores.

Might be worth a trip across the border.

I just searched for PDZ and it is more expensive than I expected. A 10lb bag is $65! How far would that go?

Oh no, no, no. A 25lb bag is $10. And that doesnt go very far in my opinion. Have you considered coffee grinds? We just recently started using it and it works the same way and smells much nicer (as long as you enjoy the smell of coffee of course.)

Borders are closed! I will have to search some more or come up with something else.

I am assuming they are used coffee grinds? I am not a fan of coffee or the smell of old grinds. My husband and 2 of my kids like it. Hmmmm. Maybe that's a good excuse to get them to clean out the coop!

I've tried PDZ and wasn't impressed with the product for the price - also Amazon because it's not carried locally. Honestly, go simple. Craft a removable poop board w/ high sides, fill with dry pine shavings and clean as necessary and put the waste into the compost pile. My flock is small - six birds - I don't have to clean as frequently.

Ohhh...did not know that.
Did you want to use PDZ on the poop boards?

Yes, we dry ours out after we use them. Just set them out in the sun in a thin layer and theyll dry quickly.

Yes, it sounds like that was a good place to use them from what I have read in other posts.

Sounds like something worth trying. I also like the idea of reusing things. Coffee cup to coop to compost!

Just google Zeolite and/or Clinoptilolite which is the ingredient(s) of Sweet PDZ and Sweet Coop. It can be found as is product but is also marketed as numerous other brands of horse stall refresher, cat litter, etc.Just be sure it is the mineral and doesn’t have additives like fragrances and clays that could harm your chickens.
