Is Blackjack 57 safe?

Pics
I wouldn't worry once its dry it does not flake off with hand tools let alone from the chickens. I scraped parts of my floor with a metal putty knife and a stiff brissle brush and nothing flaked off. Our chicken have not done anything to that floor in 18 months. yep the black is blackjack.

Can you paint blackjack57? I have a concrete floor and wooden walls. I plan to waterproof the concrete and paint the walls with blackjack, but I am not sure if all black inside the coop would be a good idea. I want to paint it white...

I have not used it on concrete yet. But will be using it on post below grade and cops in future builds. We coateda pressure treated plywood on the floor and 3' up the walls. Were on year three now and last time I cleaned it out before we went DLM. I used a large drywall knife and scraped the floor the used a rough bristled brush . It look new when we were done. I did not scrape up any of the black jack 57.
With the concrete I'd follow directions. If it doesn't mention concrete I'd make sure it was clean and dry before applying. Maybe use a etching cleaner but maybe someone knows concrete better the I do.

Sorry, I realize that my post was not clear. I plan to waterproof the concrete with a waterproof concrete sealer. It is a clear product used to waterproof concrete. I plan to use the blackjack on the wood walls. my question is if you can paint the blackjack with a white paint or will the paint flake off?
 
Right, and that's probably exactly what happened... the real problem is that my ducks are gross, and I can't seem to figure out a food/water distribution system that they don't turn into some sort of slimy slip-and-slide.
Let me know
If you find a solution! Ducks are delightful but they do like entertaining themselves in the mud and water😀I love my ducks❣️
 
I have a question - does anyone have recommendation for seems on pieces of plywood? There is a slight gap in-between them. Is there a sort of roofing tape that would work?

Probably not.
Describe the gaps, pics would be better.
