In the Brooder
Hello all! I am new to chickens, but very excited! I am finishing up building my coop, to get chicks in the spring. Hoping to build the run in the spring, while they are little and in the brooder.
I have installed 20LF of 2x4, flat, roosting bars for the coop. I have painted the interior of the coop, except for the bars. My intuition tells me my birds roosting on painted bars for so much of their life, isn't necessarily healthy for them. I am looking for a healthier alternative, which would allow easier scraping, as opposed to bare wood.
I was considering bees wax? It would coat the wood. Any idears?
