I’m building a new coop this March, I’m getting an old shed, swing set, fence posts, fencing, and miscellaneous wood all from my aunt. I would like to cut the shed walls down to size and use them for the henhouse walls, but I’m worried that it might be cheap particle board and useless once it gets wet. I have a lot of extra Pergo wood flooring pieces that would make a very attractive siding for my henhouse. The problem is that the Pergo flooring is not water resistant/proof. Is there a way that I can seal the pieces so that I can use them for siding? Should I coat them in polyerthane? If there is a way to make the Pergo flooring water resistant/proof and will the finished product be chicken safe? Should I let the henhouse air out for a week or two before I put the chickens in their new coop? I really am at a loss on what to do. Any advice or ideas is welcome.
