Instructions
Clean the chicken coop before putting lime in it.
Lock the chickens out of the chicken coop while you are applying the lime to keep them from getting any directly on them.
Sprinkle a thin layer of lime on the floor of the coop by hand or with a small scoop. Wear gloves when you handle the lime.
Cover the floor with your regular bedding material.
Let the chickens back into the coop.
Sprinkle lime about once a week onto areas where manure builds up, such as under the roost. Immediately cover the lime with more bedding.
