I would panit it crazy colors its very whimsical!
That's a great idea!! Might I suggest you don't paint it some crazy yellow color tho....
If I got a deal like that, I'd keep it, and not give it to any of the members here!
And,,, I would get it up off the ground, on stilts, or piers, about 18" to 24" above the ground, for 2 reasons:
1. The flooring system, which is probably wood ? Will stay dryer and much less chance of mold, mildew and rot, better for the chickens.
2. That area under the coop could be utilized by the chickens, and or part storage compartment for your supplies or tools and such.
3. It would be easy to insulate the floor if it was up off the ground. And its proven that chickens like insulated floors. Just google that Dog.
4. The Chickens like walking up a boardwalk to get inside the Coop, and they like walking down to get out. These are known chicken facts as you see on TV even in the cartoons... Coops are up on stilts!
5. If you put external nest boxes on, there will be even more nice shaded area for the birds to hang-out. And they like hanging around friends.
6. You might be able to put some sand under there for the chickens. People say they need sand, but it's my understanding that chickens just like sand, so I say, why not give it to them!
Well you get the idea, I could go on for days... you gotta give the chickens what they like
Just makes ya wonder, doesn't it? about all this info from the chickens? Must be a Chicken Whisperer out there somewhere actually talkin to chickns...
If you need anymore ideas let me know!
