Spring Coop Cleaning: Get Your Hen House Ready for Spring!

Spring Coop Cleaning: Get Your Hen House Ready for Spring!

Keep your coop sparkling clean and your flock safe with Coop Care All-Purpose Cleaner! This powerful, non-toxic formula removes grime, prevents disease, and leaves a fresh scent your hens will love.

Ready to freshen up your flock’s home? Let’s break down an easy and effective spring cleaning routine—plus, I’ll share my go-to Coop Care products that make the job SO much easier!


Why Spring Cleaning Your Coop is Essential

Over winter, moisture, manure, and bedding build-up can create a breeding ground for bacteria and ammonia. A clean coop:
✅ Prevents disease and parasites
✅ Reduces strong odors that stress your chickens
✅ Creates a fresh, safe, and comfortable environment for your flock

Since Easter often brings new chicks into the mix, a clean coop ensures a healthier space for both your baby chicks and adult hens!


Step 1: Clear Out Old Bedding & Debris

Start by removing:
Old bedding, feathers, and manure
Loose debris and dust from the walls and corners
Any uneaten food or treats that might attract pests

Pro Tip: Use a rake or shovel to get into the nooks and crannies, and don’t forget to clean the nesting boxes and roosting bars!


Step 2: Deep Clean with Coop Care All-Purpose Cleaner

Now that the debris is gone, it’s time to disinfect and protect your coop with the Coop Care All-Purpose Cleaner. This powerful yet natural cleaner is a non-toxic, food-processing-grade solution that’s safe for chicks and adults alike.

✅ Prevents disease and bacteria growth
✅ Removes dirt, grime, and biofilm buildup
✅ Low pH formula with a fresh, clean scent

How to Use:

  1. Mix or spray the solution directly onto surfaces like walls, floors, and nesting boxes.

  2. Scrub lightly where needed, then rinse or wipe clean.

Your coop will be sparkling clean and protected—just in time for Easter!


Step 3: Eliminate Odors with Chick Fresh Odor Control Spray

No one likes a smelly coop! After cleaning, use Chick Fresh Odor Control Spray to keep ammonia and odors at bay. This spray works wonders to neutralize strong smells and leaves behind a fresh, clean scent.

✅ Safe for chickens of all ages
✅ Reduces harmful ammonia buildup
✅ Leaves the coop smelling fresh and inviting

How to Use:

  • Lightly spray around the coop, especially in high-traffic areas like nesting boxes and roosts.

  • Use regularly to maintain a pleasant-smelling environment.


Step 4: Fresh Bedding for a Cozy Nest

Once your coop is clean and fresh, add a thick layer of new bedding. I like to use:
Straw or hay for nesting boxes
Pine shavings for the floor
A diatomaceous earth like Chicken's Choice Dust Bath to keep mites and pests away

Keep your coop sparkling clean and your flock safe with Coop Care All-Purpose Cleaner! This powerful, non-toxic formula removes grime, prevents disease, and leaves a fresh scent your hens will love.
