Husband is just finishing off a lovely new coop he's made of timber and exterior grade marine plywood. I appreciate it won't last forever but our budget is tight and our girls (and boys) need some new housiong for the winter so this will be better than nothing.
What can I paint/seal it with? I haven't got any creosote, and really I need the house in use as soon as possible! Is normal fence type stain okay? Is there any problem with it and hens/eggs?
Is it worth painting the inside white in order to try to extend the 'light' period each day (or did I imagine I read that idea somewhere?)
