Chicken manure is great for the compost pile.
The part where it sits in your coop first? Less delightful.
Manna Pro® Coop 'N Compost™ is a zeolite-based chicken coop odor neutralizer that helps control ammonia and moisture while extending the life of your bedding. And once that used bedding heads to the compost pile, Coop 'N Compost helps make the nutrients in manure and compost more available to your garden.
So the stuff coming out of the coop can eventually do something useful besides make you hold your breath.
Zeolite.
Yep. That's it.
For a regular coop cleanout, remove the existing bedding and waste. If you've washed the coop or used a cleaning product, allow the floor to dry completely.
Sprinkle Coop 'N Compost liberally over the bare coop floor, creating a thin layer of granules. Add fresh bedding over the top.
Manna Pro recommends cleaning the coop every 1 to 2 weeks.
Using the deep litter method? Sprinkle Coop 'N Compost into the litter 1 to 2 times per week and whenever you add fresh bedding.
Good ventilation and fixing wet spots still matter. Coop 'N Compost can help manage ammonia, moisture, and odor, but it cannot negotiate with the waterer your chickens keep filling with bedding.
Chicken poop was always going to happen.
Might as well make better compost out of it.
