White wash

[JoePa]

Any though regarding painting the inside of your coop with a mixture of lime and water - this is known as whitewash - people used to paint fences and other structures this way - the whitewash looks nice and probably keeps bugs away - I don’t think it would hurt the chickens - what do you think -

I followed the instructions of a you tube post to whitewash the inside of my coop using hydrated limestone, salt and water. Looked good right after it was done. Just beware...if it gets wet, it literally washes away.
