I wouldn't have thought flags and pointing would pass muster with the Dept of Agriculture due to bio contamination and cleaning issues. Surely a poured smooth concrete floor would be the cheapest and best solution.

so long as it's scrub able it's good... from a chicken keeper (6 of 'em)

they cover the floor in shavings, lad who works for us is uncle runs a contracting business spreading the shavings in the sheds with a loadall in the big sheds and a skidsteer in the small sheds, this is for free range of course.

so if they are using that kind of service floor has to be up to taking the weight of a machine etc

all the big chicken units round our way some 30k + layers and meat birds are all mass poured concrete slabs
