What do you do when your chicken coop starts to stink? Lets face it, all chicken coops are going to smell at some point. Lots of fluffy little bodies depositing poop everywhere is not exactly a recipe for pleasant scents wafting through the air like a gentle spring breeze. At some point, you're going to smell chicken poop. You can cut the smell down a lot though and that's what I want to talk about today.
You can't stop the chickens from pooping, but you can can control the chicken coop odor. I've found that simply opening up the doors and windows can air the coop out enough to remove most of the stink. A well ventilated coop will let in some fresh air even when closed up, which also lets out any bad odors that have accumulated. Allowing the chickens free range time or access to a run can also help in controlling the smell. If they're pooping in the yard instead of the coop it cuts down the smell from the source.
Nobody wants a smelly chicken coop though, especially if it's near your house! Here are 6 things you can do to eliminate chicken coop odor.
