Pea Straw or alternative Deep Litter

[Sajfos]

Hello All.

Great Forum .

I am considering using Pea Straw as a Deep Litter for my next years Young Birds .

I have a few questions if any member has the experience .

1/In the case of an infection in the loft does the Straw harbour the bacteria/virus etc /

2/ How would I disinfect the Litter in the above case .

3/ Is it advisable to put a layer os Stalosan beneath the Straw etc ?

4/ Where would I obtain Pea Straw in the North West of England ?

 

Any answers would be greatfully received,

Steve .
