My 8 year old grandkids (cousins, not brother and sister) sat down and helped us draw the plans for our coop, then they carefully colored their designs the way they'd like to see them painted. Katie's was "princess pink" with turrets. Evan's was colored in squares with black lines separating each square, then he used red, blue, green, and yellow so that it would look like the coop was made of Legos. The more I thought about it the more I thought that might be kinda neat - we could paint the exterior nest boxes and put three wooden circles on it so that it looked like an upside down Lego waiting to be placed. Then we could incorporate Katie's turrets as the ventilation. I mentioned it somewhere else here on the forums and someone suggested that we could call it "Eggoland". Is it a sign of "Gramma-ness" that I'm now trying to talk my husband into it?
