Oh, thank you so much for commenting DL! The inside was done a few days ago and it was a very thin coat. We aren't planning to put the girls in there until Friday or Saturday.
Is it ok that the outside was coated in it too? The outside is made with T-11 Siding, so it's very rough and soaked...

Thanks for the response. I was just reading a reply of yours to someone else where you said the adult ladies will need 3.5-4sqft each in the coop. I figure out that these will only have room for 4.
UPADTE - I won't be getting these hutches. Thanks for the replies!
I have seven 1-week old chicks that will need a coop to call their own in the near future. I've asked around for anything I can reuse or repurpose, and someone has offered me the below two rabbit hutches. I'm trying to...
I just joined within the last 10 minutes and just noticed that the answer to "Why do you want to join BYC?" ends up being in your permanent profile. I didn't completely answer it before I submitted it and now I'd really like the chance to change/update it. Is that possible?
