We are working on our new coop and I would like to paint the interior wood to protect it (it is treated wood) but I want to make sure I don't use anything harmful to my chicks.
Any words of advise?
 
Really you can use any kind, just let it cure well before adding the chickens, so the fumes are gone. Most use an exterior semi gloss or gloss as they stand up to washing better.
 
Any water soluble latex will do fine. A question might be about the treated wood you are using which could contain harmful chemicals.
I have not had any trouble with chickens pecking at wood so this has not be a problem with me.
Almost all paint today is harmless to living creatures since lead based paint has been taken off the market several decades ago.
