My 8 first-time chicks are nearly ready for their big-girl coop outside. I've spent days working on my coop with my dad, and I'm really pleased with how it's coming along! Their coop will look adorable when finished, painted and even has shutters like a little house. My backyard, however, is not so adorable. As of now, it's so dull and ugly. I guess I just don't want my pretty new coop sitting back in a muddy mess. I have visions of potted plants, stepping stones out to the coop and boxes full of lushes greenery that the girls can eat. I don't have a large budget to play with ($75 or less) and I really don't have a "green-thumb". Can someone tell me things to plant that look pretty can won't hurt my chickens to nibble, or ways to spruce up a red-clay backyard before my coop gets in place and I can take a picture with pride of my new coop
