Description

Taking Care of Your Coop of your Large Chicken Coop

• This wood has been treated but to get that extra life, we recommend that you paint/varnish your coop. You must use a high-quality wood preservative, varnish, roof sealer, or water repellant. This has to be applied within one week of purchase and/or before heavy rain. You must pay particular attention to all of the roof edges, eves, and all joints. This will waterproof your coop and prevent the wood from swelling.
• Clean out the coop regularly.
• You must apply additional coats of wood preserver if the run is going to be kept outside. To ensure your run continues to look great, position it in a protected area that is not fully exposed to the elements.
• Note: Regarding the published recommended number of birds per coop, the minimum number refers to birds the size of a Quail and the MAXIMUM refers to the size of an average Chicken, such as a Rhode Island Red. This is not heavy duty compared to our 12 hen coop.

Remember to only use non-toxic, animal-friendly cleaning and treatment products.
