Scrub it out or pressure wash to remove all debris. Then wet it down good with 1/4 cup clorox to 1 gallon of water. Let it sit for 1/2 hour and rinse or just let it dry completely, til the smell is gone. The spray with permethin or dust with sevin.

Welcome to BYC and chickens!

If you spray and don't rinse you need to let it air dry until there is no more bleach smell.
