Good morning!
I recently purchased a used chicken coop for my pullets who will be transitioning out of their brooder this week. The coop came from a local long-term chicken keepers, and the last chicken of their flocked died about 7 weeks ago at 11 years old from old age. The coop is made from solid wood, and the bottom of the coop is lined with linoleum. The coop looks like it was cleaned very well, I do not see any stains, manure, etc. there is no foul smell to the coop. The coop has great ventilation either 3 windows that open and two doors with screens behind the cleaning access doors.
How would I use sound bio security measures before introducing my chickens to the coop?
Should I use water, vinegar and lemon, a bleach solution? Just sweep it out?
Thank you for your time and advice!
