Red question

[Ste]

I read somewhere that hens will peck at anything red. My hubby painted the inside door of the nesting boxes red - the rest of the inside of the nesting boxes are black. Should he repaint them? Will they peck at the door?

Don't worry. I paint all my coop structures red. Our house is painted a redwood stain color. My car is garnet pearl red. They don't peck at any of those things. You'll be fine. Now painted nails that are red, freckles, rings, and silver things, now those they go for.

Thanks! I just envisioned the poor things going nuts over this red door - LOL
