Brenda, is that your coop? OMG It looks better than my house!

Just kidding, that is a pretty cool setup for the little chickies.

I painted mine with glossy paint, and it hasn't been a problem. I use a 2x2. I read here somewhere that painting is good as it helps keep the pest problem down. I think it was mites that like to lay eggs in wood. Painting keeps them from being able to do that.
