When in vapor form, ammonia produces a strong and foul smell. the gas is formed when bacteria break down the nitrogen in chicken poop. this affects the beddings, litter, and air quality in a chicken house. some environmental conditions can increase the concentration of ammonia in a coop.. Ammonia is easily managed in the chicken coop, but to do so, we need to understand what exactly causes the ammonia in our coop to turn gaseous. moisture in the coop bedding plays a direct role in how much ammonia you smell in the air. in short, the wetter the litter, the higher the ammonia level in the coop. keep it dry. Moisture is the biggest reason that chicken coops have the horrible ammonia odor. i think you might be able to use sand successfully where i usually do not recommend it to chicken owners in my area of the country. makes the coop smell like coffee. the hens don’t eat it, though some will dust bathe in it..
We just had a lady write wondering why her chicken’s eggs smell like ammonia. her coop and nests are clean and she gathers eggs often through the day, so it’s not from excess droppings. i’ve never experienced this with eggs. the more we look into her chicken situation, the more likely it seems the smell might be from something they are. When something smells of ammonia - its off, past its use by date, not properly processed or stored, to me. when i've kept chicken or fish a bit too long and it smells like that - i bin it. even though the fish may have cost way too much, or i was looking forward to a chicken curry dinner, once it has that smell, it's out of here. it's an instinctive thing to me..
