[Cosmetic] Chicken Coop

Perhaps for just Cosmetic effects, have it so when you have live chickens inside your chicken coop, it will change the sprite to an animated chicken coop with unclickable chickens around it.

The only way to make a chicken coop lively is to make the entire structure take an additional 4x2 space IN FRONT of it, meaning then you can see sprites of moving chickens, for "indication" purposes (chicks walking around according to the chicks in the coop, chickens, and roosters too).

Or you could have a little hen sprite visible in the hole of the coop when there's hens in the coop.
Not poking out of the hole, not going off the edges, just visible in the hole.

Jorb originally intended to do someting like the roof jumping up and down and feathers flying. There was some problem with it though I think.

I could see that becoming very annoying and distracting after a few minutes or so....

A small, subtle animation of a hen peeking out of the hutch every couple minutes would be fun to see, but feathers flying and roofs bouncing is a bit much :P

It was only intended to be shown every time an egg was laid, though. Not constantly. :lol:
