WE RECOMMEND EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR CHICKEN ACTIVITY
CENTER WITH OUTDOOR PAINT OR A CLEAR FINISH. IT HAS BEEN
STAINED BUT USING A NON-TOXIC OUTDOOR PRODUCT OR A CLEAR
POLYURETHANE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION AGAINST RAIN,
MOISTURE, HUMIDITY AND SNOW FOR MANY SEASONS TO COME.
NOW! SET OUTSIDE FOR YOUR FREE-RANGE BIRDS OR WITHIN YOUR
COOP AREA AND LET YOUR BIRDS ENJOY! AND DON’T FORGET THE
YUMMIES IN THE TREAT BASKET FOR YOUR BIRDS!
