Painting my coop have I done the wrong thing?
« on: April 03, 2010, 22:50 »
Finished the main coop and I have painted it with leftover fence paint, the spray on type but I also did the inside is this wrong I was hoping to make it easy to clean and stop damp. Also what is the best way to make the pop hole and what size. Thanks again.

So long as the birds dont go in till all the fumes have gone... It doesnt sound like you have them yet though if you are just making the pop hole :)

We made ours with a jigsaw, about the size of a dinner plate and with a drop down cover that slides down between two runners :)  we raise and lower it with a piece of rope.
I love Pekins, Polands and Seramas :) and eggs!!!

There's no need to paint the inside and I always think it's best to let it breath anyway.

Pophole aperature for medium sized L/F should be 12"H X 9"W or 15" X 11" for very large birds such as Brahmas, Orps or  Cochins.
