Putting Cord Into Coop

[enggass]

If I were to drill a hole into the side of my coop to feed an extension cord into, what is the best way to seal that up securely around the cord?
Thanks,
Steve

that foam stuff that expands would lock it in pretty good....it comes in a can and for the life of me i can't remember what it's called

Caulking of some sort

Good question, as I will have to do that here soon. I guess some kind of good caulking would work great.

"great stuff" is the name of the expanding foam

My chickens ate the Great Stuff when I tried to plug up a bullet hole in the coop. Don't ask.

As a builder I recommend OSI Quad caulking....NOT SILICONE! Once you use silicone and remove it or make a change nothing ever sticks there again.

I know you said not to but now I have to. What happened? Do you think they would eat wood putty?

caulk would probably be the best, but i prefer duct tape (im not a red neck... im only half red neck)
