There they are at the bottom right. They are a french breed called cuckoo marans. They are a bit spoiled and hoping to get a treat. Lately, it has been a blueberry or two. This is their chicken coop but I call it the chicken pavilion. When I was rehabbing the backyard, I couldn't decide what to do with this old gazebo. I was on the verge of having it disassembled and carted off. The canvas cover had rotted away and it was looking quite shabby. I had looked into buying a replacement cover but it cost more than what I had originally paid for the gazebo. And, when I was trying to decide what configuration to make the chickens new coop to keep them safe from cats and marauding possums, everything I thought of was looking a bit like something Ma and Pa Kettle or the Beverly Hillbillies pre-oil strike would have. So, I had it made into the coop by having chicken wire tied to it. Posts are set into the ground to hang the dutch doors and I had some lovely garden trellises that I had about incorporated into the frame. I think it turned out quite lovely and fitting for my little french hens.
