What color did you paint your coop?

[Melo D]

If I remember correctly it is called Denim Jacket. Acrylic stain but it was thicker than paint and that wood was thirsty! It took 1.5 gallons.

Chickens can poop 3 feet up a wall with no known way on how they managed it.

I just saw that I had several alerts asking me what color we painted our coop. I replied to the first one and have tried to reply to all of them but site did not let me and I don't know how to do it I guess. TO EVERYONE WHO ASKED, HERE IS THE INFORMATION!

HAPPY PAINTING! If any of you were referring to the yellow inside coop color and not the exterior, just message me!

(Here are photos of goose coop that we built from scratch and painted the same color as well)

I did mine black. Inside is grey.

Ours is stained, just a color we liked, with contrasting trim. The river birch stands out against it. And that birch needs trimming every year!

I love this color scheme! Any idea on what stain brand and color you used?

My coop matches my house pretty much...used leftover paint for the corners, etc. And got a stain to match the rest. The big picture is our actual house...the smaller one is the coop!

Question: how do you all manage those slippery sheet vinyl floors? @DavidReaves , it looks like there's not enough room for bedding over that floor next to that window, and I hope you added screwed in wood frames over the hardware cloth.
Just wondering...

I have a nice cushy vinyl floor covering, and it is not slippery at all. Has sort of a texture to it, but not deep.

We live in a 250 year old house in New Hampshire. It's cedar shingled and all trim is painted a flat very dark brown. We designed the coop to blend with the 18thc. house and painted it the same color on the outside. We even leaded the window, as we have some of same in our home! We added period style tin lantern "night light" and window box.
Inside we wanted a cheerful 'party' for the hens. We painted everything a scrubbable sunshine yellow and made nestbox and window curtains out of blue and white gingham! We love it! (Our chickens have NEVER picked at or eaten any paint).

I painted the inside of my coop light yellow, too. Makes it sunny and warm!

Picnic table red, it’s actually red deck stain, my wife painted the sign and the girls names.

Mine is glid pale jade, Behr solid wood stain, in the 'woops paint' section, and close enough to what I was looking for!
