Will there still be a chicken manure smell even though I sprinkle Sweet PDZ on the run and coop?

Do you have organic matter to break down the poop?

Just pine shavings

Green matter like fresh wood chips will help, pdz can only do so much.

I don’t have chickens yet. I am still in the planning stage. I am most likely going to not have chickens because I don’t want the flies.

I use PDZ and sand in my poop trays, from which I scrape the poop daily with a kitty litter scooper. My coop does not smell. I have 20 chickens. How many chicken do you plan to have?

2-3 hens but I am mostly likely not going to have them because of noise and smell.

I think I will just stick with pigeons.

Oh! And welcome to BYC!

I've had pigeons before. I would say they were noisier and smellier. But me, I love the sound of pigeons!

At least you decided you're incompatible before you get them.
