Best pre-made coop?

That coop looks great. For the folks that do not want to tackle build, and have the money. It really looks great. Did I miss the dimensions? Looks pretty good size. An upgrade might be to add some ventilation. Good luck with your coop and chicks.

I've also just ordered a pre-made coop. I'm only intending to use it to introduce my babies to the great outdoors and to get them used to putting themselves to bed. Once they get the idea I'll open the doors and let them free range with my existing flock and hopefully decide to move in with them.
It'll also be a backup coop for emergencies in case any have to be separated.
I want to weatherproof it before I put it together. My question is whether it's ok to paint the inside. I was planning on using cuprinol shades? Of course I'll make sure it's totally dry before I move the chicks in.

Is 'cuprinol' a color...or??
A good exterior latex gloss or semigloss will make for easier cleaning,
and, yes, thoroughly cure the paint before assembly and/or bird exposure.
