Probably look through some outdoor paints and see if there's any that are fume free. If they make those for outdoors

The coop is inside a fully enclosed run so I'm not too worried about the chicken wire. Especially since it'll be only open during the day for ventilation during the summer. They'll have a run to go to during the day when I'm home and a yard when I'm outside. If I'm not home they'll have a...

It's pressure treated so Dad said not to paint it until it changes color, like the fence in the background.

Well dad has built us a coop that can comfortably hold 4 chickens, almost 5 so we will probably have 5.

I might be able to do 5-6 if I have some especially favorites

The coop is fairly small. Built for only 4 chickens so I don't see us being able to keep all 8. Plus I do think one might be a roo.... No roos allowed. He's worked on it more since I've taken pictures. I'll have to go see how much he's gotten done.

I just want to update that my dad has been working on a coop (home made) and it's currently made like Fort Knox. It will not be falling apart anytime soon. I've also had my little chicks since Sunday. The hardest part will be choosing the 4 to keep out of the 8 I picked out (friend said to grab...

We've currently kind of have dad on board. So we're now comparing the prefab and having it on a stand to a homemade coop

How does it work when the weather isn't too great and they stay in all day? I'd think with the coop I'm asking about they'd have a more covered little area to come out in if they're not able to go in the run.

I could probably scuff it up or add felt or something for them to grip. How would a dog house fare in hot Louisiana weather?

We have a 10x10 for foster dogs. The way the area is where we're putting them won't cost much to build the run. We already have all the wire left over. I think you can even see it in the picture. We have some wood but not enough probably. We will have time until they're ready to be put in the...

Dad isn't into the chicken idea. So I'm trying to make him so as little as possible until he sees how it's all going to work out

Okay thanks! I'll probably have my dad do little improvements here and there if we have ideas

If we ever have bad weather to where that happens, we plan to bring them in a spare room near the house. So they'll never have to be shut in there for super long periods.

I'm not sure if my stuff is posting or not... I don't plan on having more than 3-4 chickens ever in this location. It'll be inside a bigger run so they won't LIVE in this prefab. I like the design of it and that it is less expensive. Especially since I'm just starting.

I've checked craigslist and all the swap pages. They're all big and/or cost a LOT $400 to thousand. I probably won't add extras unless I move, and then that'll be a different place. If I do buy this one I'm going to inspect it at tractor supply.

I'm getting 3-4 babies. So hopefully they all live and that's all I'll have. I'm hoping to keep the coop in a run. So in the summer and nice days they can be loose. If I'm outside they'll have access to my whole yard. I'm liking the build of it (the tray, Windows to open, easy access to eggs)...

If it changes anything, it'll be in the corner of my yard surrounded by solid fence and a metal building. There won't be much wind or anything hitting it.

http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/precision-pet-farm-house-coop I'm a brand new chicken owner. I'll be getting 3-4 babies this upcoming week. Will this coop work for housing them? This will be located in a bigger run inside my actual yard. They're going to be laying hens. Thanks
