Hi all!
I have 7 chicks.
I need to clean their container today. I plan to put shavings in my compost.
1, is it true chicken manure should compost for 3 years prior to using? My dad who avidly used it in the past said it had to be aged.
2, I have a chick with mid brown bubbly poop. Seems ok otherwise. Is frothy poop normal? I’ve only had this chick for 24 hours, Chick is vocal, eating, drinking, playing, trying to fly off the brooder and out of the puppy pool (we did electrolytes, 1 packet to a gallon and then half and half today, some of my chicks came from a sort of very stressful situation).
3, when I clean the pool, can I spray the brooder top with orange peel infused vinegar or should I just stick with water?
Thanks in advance!
