Looks like the same colour as some of our coops -Cuprinol Shades, Iris. Done a lot in two days WarescotFarm and it looks very 'Fox resistant'. Unfortunately I couldn't enlarge the photos to have a better look.

it is little play shed which used to be our horse's stable, then it became the goats stable while we introduced her to the horse now a hole cut in it with air holes and it is the chicken coop!
ONly problem is I have put some perches inside but the chickens prefer to sit on top of each other in the nesting box. 2 of the 3 are sitting on eggs but the 3rd seems to want to cuddle in. Is that normal?
