Red cedar coop. SOLD

[sugarbush]

I have one small red cedar coop for sale. it is 3 ft x 3ft and about 4 ft tall. Three nest boxes. good size for a backyard flock of 3-4 birds.
This is new, never had birds in it. $200.00 in lexington ky.
I was at the milton swap with these last fall.
last one and I am not building anymore

Someone correct me here if I am wrong but isn't cedar deadly to poultry??? I know we cannot use cedar shavings so I would think a coop might be a bit dangerous?? Am I wrong???

Cedar wood is fine for building coops... something about the chemicals added in the shavings are what makes it dangerous bedding... I think.

 

[sugarbush]

That is correct. the wood is great for coops, looks good, rot resistant. Shavings for bedding is bad.

I can take a few pictures and put them up.

This link is of a larger version that I built at the same time I built the 3x3, but everything is the same other than the size.
