Animal safe caulking material/Waterproofing coop

[KitchenFamilyFarm]

We put together a resin shed as a coop but I’m having issues with keeping out water. We live in eastern Tennessee & get lots of hard rainfall.
I’m thinking about running a bead of caulking around all the openings to better seal the windows & doors.
Worried about caulking being toxic tho. Do they even mess with it? Is there a brand that would be better to use?

Any caulking will be fine.
You can use silicone caulking if you're insistent.
Your coop need more ventilation, can you cut some big areas out under the eaves/peak or a spinning vent in the roof?

They very may will if they can reach it.

Where is the rain water coming in?
Guessing maybe on the skylights?
There's no roof overhang to help protect the windows, not sure caulk will solve that issue.

It’s not dripping from the skylight areas. I believe it’s dripping off the roof & seeping in at the base of the walls where they snap into the flooring. This my concern with running a thick line of caulk around the bottom where the hens could reach it.
I don’t think it’s coming in thru the windows because I pulled the windows out, added a thick layer of caulk around it & screwed the windows back in place squishing out the excess caulk.

Are the ventilation holes that came with it enough or do I need more

You need way more, a square foot per bird, especially in hot and muggy Tennessee.

Hard to see in your pics but it looks like the walls are on top or inside of the base?

Ok thanks for the info! I’ll do that this weekend. 3” holes covered with steal cloth all along the eaves.

I don't think that will be enough but there's only so much you can do with a resin shed
Are you up to remove a South wall and replace it with a wall of hardware cloth?
Or get a few of these
