[CHICKENS-101] Re: What should I put on my chicken coop floor?

 

Cathryn, I'm just yankin' yer chain here ;)

However with treated wood, I really can't see the expensive of applying linseed oil.

I've read that old timers applied axle grease to roosts etc. to keep down the mites and other creepy crawlers. They also put it on their chickens legs and feet to get rid of scaly mites. I suppose it worked but it must of been rather messy.

To aid in warding off bugs, how about using diatomaceous earth?
