can i varnish inside a chicken house

Recommended Posts

I don't see why not, as long as you let it fully cure and the smell has gone. A month should be more than long enough to prevent gassing the chooks.

 

It might affect condensation though as the wood wouldn't be able to breath but i think a as long as the ventilation is ok it should be fine.

 

I think some people on the Practical Poultry forum have varnished or painted theirs.

 

They are a few on here who also post on PP so they would know better.

 

Kev.

We have just used straght forward fence paint on ours which lets the wood breathe. Every year we give it a blow torching and repaint it. You have to watch out for the dratted red mite with a wooden house. We then spray it with a wonderfull spray from the vets called Vet-chem acclaim, which lasts 12 months. Never had mites since using it.

Dont think I have ever seen one done is shiny varnish.
