Coop color??

[Sinfonian]

I plan on using the same paint I used when I painted the house this last fall. Beige with light green trim. I also intend on using the exterior paint on the inside to let me scrub it clean. I hope it isn't bad for the hens.

Natural cedar

I thought Cedar was poisonous to chickens?

I haven't quite figured out how to post pics on here yet but to describe my coop, it's white with hideous, almost blaze orange trim (as are all of the buildings and barns, because that's what my father inlaw liked...yay) But with the white background I've just been using it as my own personal "doodle pad"...I buy the "oops" paint or "mistints" depending on where you go at a fraction of the normal cost and have been painting flowers and chickens and bugs on the side of my coop whenever the mood strikes...I like to doodle

The nestbox is the bit of red to the right with buckets (no longer) tucked under it

The roof is clear corrugated stuff 'cuz I love a skylight.

The aviary around the coop is a starplate dodecahedron but with a flat bottom covered in hardware cloth with the 2x4's painted silver.

Yeah, we're weird.
