So, we have a mini-coop made from an old wine barrel -- purchased used from someone who'd had it for 4 years.
During the rain, we discovered that the barrel is no longer watertight. We have leaks along some of the slats.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to seal it up with something nontoxic? If the sealant's going on the inside, I don't want any fumes or enticing peck-able materials, and if it goes on the outside, it needs to be aesthetically harmonious with the outside of the barrel. I'm hoping to resell this thing (which has turned out to be cute, but not terribly functional) as soon as we get a suitable home built.
Help???
