[N F C]

Ha! A little of that "optional cussing" going on? I was ashamed of me. I didn't know I even knew some of those words!

I think I was saying words DH the former Navy guy didn't know, lol.

OK here it is.





The Chickens are made of Gingerbread and covered in dyed coconut.
The deep litter in the coop is colored coconut
The sand and mud in the run is coco pebbles and Oatmeal.
The food bowls are Peanut-butter cups with Icing and sunflower seeds.
The wreath is a frosted cookie with red hots.
Stepping stones are York Peppermint Patties
The roost in the coop with the White Silkie is a sugar wafer and the one in the run is a white kitkat.
The Bench Coop and chickens are all Gingerbread.
For the roof I used Cinnamon toast crunch (which is really good with the Gingerbread and Icing!)
For Eggs I used Peanuts
all is edible except the fence lights and Christmas Princess.
There are M&M all over and a painted door on the back of the coop.
At the end we made it snow! with powdered sugar. You can kind of see it coming down in the pic (That is why I cant get The angles I want now)

Beware!
I do not like brick cookies soooo.....
I under baked the gingerbread and did not get it laid completely straight on the cookie sheet made for lots of trouble and Breakage of pieces so the Coop is now a lean too about half the size I planned

Thanks for suggesting this.
I had a blast and think I must try another!
or 2 or 3

I love it, well done. And the snow falling in the pic is Awesome!

Wow, these get better and better!

@tjo804 sounds like you've been bitten by the gingerbread bug, lol. I'm already sketching out my next one...looking forward to doing this again!

I'm just taking notes on the best features of each to steal for next year.

Seriously, everyone is showing great originality…keep it coming ..

I am thoroughly enjoying this contest, albeit as a spectator. Who will do the judging? Entries are so close, I think it will be neck and neck down to the finish.

You probably already have something in mind, but the ones they make for fairy gardens are cheap and cute

But, doesn't have to be chickens, just chicken related.
