does anyone recommend a product to waterproof the floor or part of the walls of the coop?

I used a rubberized roof coat product I got from Lowes (Blackjack#57). If it can stand up to protecting and sealing a roof in all kinds of weather and temp extremes, it can easily handle protecting a chicken coop floor. Unlike vinyl or linolium, it becomes a permanent part of the floor. It doesn't crack or peel. To apply. I dumped it onto the floor and pushed it around with a roller. It totally seals all floor seams and the gap where the walls meet the floor. It has been in the coop 2yrs, and looks as good as when I first put it in there.

Can you use this on its own for a sloped roof over the nesting boxes? Or does it need tar paper underneath?

No, not meant to be used with tar paper.

We use a tarp with excercise padding/flooring on top, poop just scrapes right off.

Do they ever tear it up or peck at it?? That sounds so smart!

I was looking at this stuff. There are different types like acrylic, fiber, rubber, etc. whatever are people using? Also how is cleaning the bedding, does it stick?
