Default What's your manure of choice?

The smell of a chook shed being cleaned out will knock your socks off at
half a mile, at close range it will raise the dead.

Must not be keeping it very dry.....

Only wet henhouses stink.
I used shavings in mine and it stayed pretty dry.
Even only cleaning it out twice per year, I never had that kind of
problem!

These are the intensive commercial kind that are roofed and ventilated,
about 100ft long with 1000s of birds, they are in there for about 10-12
weeks on each lot of sawdust. The moisture all comes from the chooks.
