What color is the inside of your coop?

[Fluster Cluck Acres]

Mine is about 75% White and 25% I'll Get Around to it Later which is a shade of plywood.

I love how bright the white makes the interior, but it is of course mottled w/ poop. I wipe it down from time to time and will paint over it again still in white "when I get around to it" or in truth I'll paint any light color high gloss or exterior paint that I find in the "oops" section at the hardware store.

Will the smell of paint bother the chickens? They do peck at the roosts now and then. Is it ok to eat the paint flakes? Sorry to be a party poop!!! haha

Once the paint has dried, I haven’t really even noticed a “paint smell” tbh. And i don’t paint thick so we haven’t had any chipping pieces

Mine is wood tone with poop, dust/dander, spider web accents.

Ooh I miss the webbing accents! Hubs cleaned the coop and now they’re gone. I suspect we’ll be redecorated with some quite soon!

If my girls have been eating paint it's not hurt them but it's made their eggs yummy!

The interior of my coop is white. I read somewhere to paint with deck paint for ease of cleaning and that's what I used. I also caulked the cracks to counter bug-a-boos having a place to hide. The exterior is medium gray with white trim. The white interior does have poo scattered Jackson Pollock style here and there... but I'll give it a good hose down when it warms up. I don't regret the white but think gray would look great too! View attachment 3387084

Beautiful coop!

I'm working on a name-plate hanging for my girls. They are all the same breed, so they wear colored leg bands to distinguish them from one another. The name-plate colors correlate with their leg bands. I did have a little trouble with Winnie's. She wears a white band. This weekend, I'll work on the hanging "hardware". Then, to find a space where it will fit in their coop
