Ended 7th Annual New Years Day Hatch-a-long contest number 6 Gingerbread Contest

We cross posted, Eggsie! Oh my gosh that is so doggone adorable I don't even know where to start! I adore the rooster on top of the coop, and those gumdrop chickens are fantastic! You did it!!

Come on everybody you have a few days left!

Use the box the crackers come in as your base. Slap it together!
Come on, come on!

The box the graham crackers are iced to is cardboard and inedible, and the tooth pick piece that holds the chicken's heads to their bodies in inedible, otherwise it is all a go. I had too much trouble with the netting so I made them all free range hens. (My husband is the only predator they need to worry about anyway. You'd think a man who won't eat jello would have gum drop issues, but that just isn't the case.) I had 25 chickens to start my adventure with so we made 25 hens and one rooster, because we did add Reynard later. This is not my coop it is a whimsy coop. If we do this again next year, I will try for the hen's real homestead. Okay... If I can figure this out... and please ignore the background... Edit to add: The chicken droppings are snowcaps. There was no cross contamination.
Nice job!!!!!!!! Holy cow every entree is amazing.. Why didn't I do a coop!!!! Lol
 
It's done.
How fun. We had so much fun!

I am so tickled by my gum drop chickens.

I never would have imagined that it would work, but they are really cute.

Now, Here is my question:
Is is going to take me a while to figure out which three pictures to use, But I would like to post my chickens on another thread to give some inspiration to others so they might want to try.
Would that count as one of the three pictures?
It would only be the gum drops.
(Actually I don't want to win anything anyway -so if it disqualifies me that'd be okay... I just have this thing about following the rules.)
Only pictures on this thread count. Go ahead and post on other threads...Please!

The contest closes on the 31st--You must have a Dollar tree close to you. Look for after Christmas sales for decorating the ginger coop.
