Coop-Tastic!
We are done with our CoopZilla! This past weekend brought painting on Friday, hardware and wire installation on Saturday. I'm happy to say that ALL chickens are now living in coops. The babies are out of the box in the garage and have moved into the mini red coop. Our layers are thriving and happily enjoying their huge new condo!
Friday morning - paint is going on!
Isabel was a VERY good helper!
She ended up painting a good portion of the nesting box!
She really got into her work!
Friday evening: JL painting the inside of the coop. James is home from school and has also been enlisted in painting!
Saturday Morning: Red =DONE
This was definitely a family project. Here's James and Izzy painting the white trim pieces
If you want to make a kid happy - give them some paint and a brush!
Even Wyatt got into the act. Helping me by supervising my efforts
