Changing Deep Litter

[ALF]

The easibed deep litter in the old bird loft has been down from this time last year and is a bit dusty now but would you remove it all or just some of it and add a couple of bales of new stuff to it?

Stopped using easibed and switched to loft granules that stops cocci from spreading, had it for three years now no problem,i bought a riddle from aldi every so often i just lift the heavy stuff give it a riddle then put the waste in the bin,birds love it,very popular in our club.

like you ALF i like to move it out once a year . i remove all of it , it gives a chance to inspect the loft floor .

Pigeon $hit and only pigeon $hit with discarded pigeon feathers is deep litter. .

Anything else is basically a large pigeon nest. .

Only enclosed lofts can achieve this environment

mines is changed a month before racing every year alan i spray the floor with bleach and put the new bale on top by changing it each year you help keep the dust down as it breaks up with time and use but both ways work m8

Change it to loft granules mate, not dusty at all when they can be down for some months.

Would the new type of Creosote work just as well or will it have to be the original stuff?
