Hi all, we're in our first few days of caring for young chooks (2x 5 month old sussex, 2x 3 month old barnies) and we've found a pretty hefty patch of mould on a tree stump in the run.
Having heard some horror stories, I'd like to kill it ASAP — but as the chooks are still new to the environment I can't let them out of the run yet. So I'm thinking I will spray the tree stump with white vinegar to kill the mould naturally, because it's also not harmful to the girls (or so I understand?). But will this backfire with the chooks liking the smell/taste and actually want to eat it? Or would this deter them from the mould as well as kill it?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
