Loving the herd life
Yesterday afternoon while the goaties were playing in the snow..we spread some dolimate lime and then layered with tons and tons of new fresh straw...does anyone else lime their barn floors????
And I have another question which is...about the chicken run. We have more chickens this year and I never had issue with smell in thier run...but I notice it now more and more...since its all closed up for the winter I dont want them sick...but I cant find any info on dolimate lime and its safety for their runs??? There is no moisture in their run..its roofed and glass in like a greenhouse...with about of 1ft around top walls for ventalation.
We were thinking of putting down the lime and adding straw on top...but chickens scratch????? I dont wanna kill em????
Any input???? Would be greatly appreciated..
