Chrissie, I have always used barn lime/crushed lime stone to cut the odors and constant cleaning. Now it is humid from rain, I have to finish getting my barns clean and the outdoor pens lime/sulfur/wood ash and the bare pens replanted. Some of the pens have a lush lawn and others are bare.

Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Chicken smell
I'm still trying to minimise chicken smell. I've read in one place that mixing garlic powder and bokashi powder with their feed helps - this is meant to be harmless to them, but miraculously stop their shit smelling and also making it suitable to put straight onto the garden without composting first.
Has anyone any experience of this or advice as to whether it's (a) safe for the chickens and (b) effective at controlling smell.
If you feed them garlic powder, do the eggs come out smelling of garlic?
Neither are cheap to buy and I don't want to waste my money.
Best wishes
Chrissie
