I've been searching for ways to Camo the Coops, so to speak. Translated that means keeping the chickens and bunnies beautiful.

The image above I found doing a search for 'flowers around chicken coop'....this suffices, I'd say.

Then of course there's Martha Stewart's Palais de Poulet. She came up with that phrase, not me. I could never hope to out-clever, out-create Martha....as much as I may try! Or not. But I'll steal her ideas for sure!
Roses over the chicken coop....luv it! And she says, 'The cutting garden adjoins the coops; all weeds are fed to the birds, as are all grass cuttings.' Precisely what I'm thinkin'.
And oh my!....I want this pin! These people have got the idea....Eggsactly!! : D
