I'm painting with a high grade, gloss, washable, interior, valspar, white paint.... What does your Coop look like?

The builder just removed all his "stuff" today so it was the first time I have been able to clean (1/2" layer of mud on the floor) and take photos. I really love it! We will be painting it this week if the rain cooperates.

There are 2 brackets just above the clean-out door. They will be set in those so that they are removable for cleaning.

We did the same thing after *not* doing it in the first coop.

A friend of mine was kind enough to tell me all the things that she wished she would have done on her coop - and her coop is really nice. She told me about the clean-out door (which I think is going to be key) and some other nice additions. I really like the idea about removable roosts - I would not have thought of that. It's my first experience with chickens.

How lucky to have that friend! I researched for years before we were in the position to build our first coop and I still found things I would have changed. Heck, on our current coop we build the whole thing without considering that it would have been nice to have a way to access the run from the coop for the humans. Oh well!

Oh I see them now!
Might need to move them up so they are higher than the nests...
...if your birds start sleeping in the nests.
