Can I tile the interior of my coop for easy cleaning?

The tile isn't the expensive part - you can get 12x12 tiles for well under a buck each if you aren't picky and look around. Tile does need to be supported by a backerboard, especially if you are going to walk on the tile to clean the coop. You'll also need to borrow a tile saw or a tile cutter, and that's where the costs add up. Tile is actually very easy to put in and keep clean and if you use the right grout it's not hard to clean.

Go to a Home Depot or a Lowe's and they'll have tile "classes" - the real trick to tiling is getting the consistency of the grout and thinset right. Once you've seen it and felt it for yourself, you'll know what it is.

Linoleum is faster and easier, although I'd suggest seamless sheet rather than press and stick tiles. Plus you can wrap the seams up the walls a bit.
 
That is a beautiful coop! I don't see why tile wouldn't work and I"m sure it would be very easy to clean then too
