The plywood is not treated. I had read that treated lumber chemicals were not good for chickens. In response to the linseed oil, should I just roll it on with a paint roller, and let it dry? What was that about "sealing" it afterward?
Thanks for all of the great advice.
I love being part of this group.

It works well and saves the expense of later replacing the wood and keeps the mites and dust from getting into cracks. I learned to use linseed oil from my grandpa and father. Never used grease on my chickens or floors. I have cheated when I was short of cash and used new motor oil. It doesn't last, (learned the hard way, had to replace a floor in the back baby barn), and what doesn't soak in has to be completely wiped up.
