Question 1

Can I fog my coop with the chickens in it?

Accepted Answer

Not in the activated state.  In fact, for you to fog it in the Activated state, you have to wear an air mask.  For chickens, use it UNactivated.  I put mine in a pump sprayer (mix a few ounces to a gallon of water and spray everything down).  If chickens are sneezing, etc. I put about 5 ounces Oxine in a spray bottle with about 10 ounces water and mist it over their heads in the evenings when they are roosting (if the temp is not cold.).

Question 2

How much should I use per gallon of water to keep the chickens' water from getting algae/slimy?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to put one fluid ounce of oxygen per 30 gallons of water !  There are 6 teaspoons in 1 fluid ounce so that means 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of water ....  or 1/5 teaspoon for a gallon ...  as we don’t have a standard measure for 1/5 teaspoon I would round up to a quarter teaspoon per gallon.

Question 3

Can I use Oxine to disinfect my egg incubator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just follow the mixing directions with non activated solution which is :Oxine and water. Keep the container where it won't get hot or cold temps. If you mix for a sprayer to have in your hen house remember the weather conditions can ruin the solution.

Question 4

Is Oxine available in the uk?

Accepted Answer

I don't know, BUT another product that is very effective is BRINSEA incubator disinfectant, which I believe is since it is made in England. I don't think it's foggable, but it works very well for most other applications, including pre-sterilising hatching eggs before setting. I have used this product extensively.
