OOOH I LOVE the mis-tinted paint section. The current coop I am working on right now will be a grayish white inside with periwinkle blue nest box and trim! I will have to post pictures of this one as well.

For all of you scoffers out there wondering why we spend our precious free time painting the inside of a chicken coop I will tell you why. The paint seals the wood making it more moisture resistant and easier to clean. It might as well be cute in the process!

Tanks...the flowers...well..the pots were just in the back yard from last year...and the fake flowers I found in a box in the garage! LOL Nothing big...just to add some color. OK, so I cheated! LOL
Dace...That little coop and run is always so....well...dismal....yukky. It really NEEDED something...especially if my little " queen Frizfriz" is to be in there. She demanded color. :/ Can we say spoiled???
OFG...every once in a while...I just need a "pretty day" We dont have flower beds...hubby is alergic to bees...so I dont really want to draw them close to the house. I DO have my Irises...planted around the pig pen. LOL
TT...here is a pic of the inside of the large coop...we dubbed the West coop. We built this coop...30 x 12 with 3 windows, 4 pens, and a closet...for under $500. MOST of the materials were free! Even the chain link....8 ft tall..I traded for 3 hens! LOL
My walkway.....

This is a pic of the pens, inside. There are 4 of them, all are about 6x8.

This was as we were constructing the yards. There is 8 ft chain link around, and we are putting the new gates on this next month I hope, and topping it to keep the owls and hawks out.

LOL, well....there IS a method to my madness...those windows face the west..in the summertime, I can close those curtains, but open the windows...letting in the air, not the hot sun. In the winter, open the curtains, letting in the warm sun.
ETA: Most people DO say I have spoiled chickens....I guess the fans and radio in there doesnt help! LOL

MY idea was to install a hot water tank....and have "warm" water in the winter....on auto waterers. Hubby doesnt think its a good idea. :/ I guess I will have to work on the ceiling fans first! LOL
