I would point out, that as we get older, crawling into short spaces to chase a sick chicken starts to seem yucky. Yes, it takes more material, but I'd be inclined to find a way to extend the legs for at least 4 1/2 ft of height for short humans, and more for tall humans or people not good at bending over or if you anticipate needing to enter it daily because your birds decide to lay wherever.

remembering back to my teaching art in museum days, we used to dilute it *super* diluted in water to make gray washes. if you're using chalky pigments and it's super duper diluted to be light grey, activation may not be such a big problem.
