Sorry if this has been covered in earlier posts, I'm not overly technical and can't find it on here!!

I am shortly going to build a chicken coop and run. The coop will be a converted shed, I have an idea how to do this (but am sure I will ask more questions as my plans develop) but the current query I have is what to paint the coop and wooden parts of the run with! It needs to protect the wood from the elements for quite a while as it will be difficult to reach due to the positions of the fences! but obviously be non-toxic to the chickens.

look for one that says it is bat friendly - it will then be chicken friendly. If in doubt call the manufacturer

I contacted Cuprinol and was told their cream stain was safe for all animal housing
