We are making plans to start keeping chickens.
DH is contemplating making the chicken house and run. He's been studying commercial ones on the web, to get ideas - and has noted that almost all are made from shiplap boarding (interlocking horizontal boards).
He's wondering if there is any technical reason why it can't be made in exterior grade plywood - which would be both cheaper and easier. And wouldn't have any crevices in it for mites & other nasties.
Anyone qualified to comment?
