A few months ago Doug and Cody brainstormed and decided to build a new chicken coupe for my 19 chickens. They put their heads together and designed exactly what they wanted and built my ladies a really nice home with windows, doors, (for both the chickens and for people), a nesting area and a roosting area. They also designed a continuous feeder and waterers which will cut down on the amount of work we have to do every day. While Doug is gone we decided to paint the outside of it. I was hoping for multicolored stripes, or maybe pink, but Doug didn't care for my suggestions so we settled on a red chicken coupe and white trim. This proved to be a good project for Cody, and he worked diligently until it was finished. We all did a little bit, but Cody did the greatest part of the work. It looks great!

| Me rolling the red on. Cody went ahead of me and got into the cracks in between the slats. That took a long time. |

| Dalyon and his friend Dallas helping for a minute. |

| Cami and her friend Harley not missing a chance to roll a little bit, but it soon became boring so off they went to play. |
 |
| The front finished, now only 3 more sides to go. Cody finished them after school the next week. I think we should paint a big black "H" on it in honor of the Hurricane Tigers. |
