hey everyone,

we are about to paint the chicken coop with a water proof paint and was wondering whether it would be poisonous for chickens?

thanks! :)

Hiya Joey,

Waterproof paint will be just fine for chooks. Chooks are notoriously difficult to poison as long as they are not forced by starvation to eat something.

I have had chickens eat a brocolli box I put in for them to nest in. I think they are made of polystyrene and cannot imagine it was very nutritious, the chooks weren't hungry either..

Cheers,
