painting chicken poop boards

[Bird Worrier]

What is the best type of white paint to use when painting my chicken's poop boards? The boards I'm using is pressed wood. Not really the time of year to paint them but want to be ready for warm spring and summer weather. Also, I obviously want to let the paint dry thoroughly. But what about curing? That can take a long time. Please advise. Thank you!

I would use resin or sealer instead. Chickens love paint chips.

But what about curing?

It needs to be warm for paint, or any sealant, to cure.
Product will give that information.

What do you mean, please post pics?
Are you using the boards now?
They will need to be clean and fully dry to apply any coating.

For sure. I will clean and dry them. And then I wish to paint them white. Just not sure the best paint to use. One that can't be all scratched up.

You might consider Blackjack 57. But it takes a couple weeks to dry and cure during very warm, dry weather. Seals wood from moisture. Safe for chickens. But you’ll have to wait until summer.

The chickens are going to paint it for you. Try to be supportive.

would not bother with paint. instead cover with a bit of PDZ when in use. You won't see the paint/not painted wood, and the PDZ will absorb the moisture.

This is what I do. PDZ is fantastic stuff.
