Howdy,
I have been given a great cage for my new chicks to grow up a bit in BUT i am not sure about the history of the cage. It is a wooden one with wire and stuff but what I am really wanting help with here is ….
what should I use to disinfect the wood cage so any greebies that may have been there are no longer there ready to pounce and infect my little kiddies … so to speak.
Cheers

Bleach is all I can think of but it might soak into the wood and smell a bit. You can get something called Avicleanse or something like that for cleaning bird cages.
the smell should not really be a problem should it. I mean the chicks wont mind will they??

It reads like it might be more of a deodoriser.
Why not ask the bird carers at Scribbly Gum? They must deal with that sort of thing a lot.

just soap and water was recommended by one issue of ‘the organic gardener’.
first wash it down and use a brush or such….when dry give it a limewash. don’t worry about bits of the limewash falling off etc. wear gloves and protective eyewear.
i buy my poultry frozen and dressed, so they don’t care where they sleep…
