Disinfecting Coop and Run after Coccidiosis

[Jen1989]

Hi All
I've recently had coccidiosis in my flock, all birds are being treated and I want to clean their coop and run to avoid reinfestation. I'm struggling to find what best to use, apparently standard disinfectant is useless, ammonia hydroxide is all that works but it can be dangerous to chickens in high strengths, the best option I'm finding is to wash it away with water!!! I'm getting the jet wash ready as I write this, does anyone have any other suggestions or experiences with this?

I don’t know how you would do this in a coop but when our foster kittens had it we were told to steam clean everything to kill it. Boiling water or any other source of very strong heat is supposed to work.

As coccidia are obiquitous, there will be no way to avoid them. The important thing is to expose the chicks at an early age, so they will develop a natural resistance.
Disinfecting your coop (you can use white vinegar) can only go so far as to avoid an overload. No need to disinfect the run.
