[Brother Steven]

Trelawney and Son, it says on our door - Turkeys, geese, chickens, and more! We offer the finest of fowl in town, a better selection than anywhere around!

So buy a plump hen, perhaps a fat goose, do come by and look, you surely can't lose!

Built for the Medieval Husbandry Category.

Hope you guys like it!

What colour is the roof on the chicken coop and the 2x2 round tile on the barrel?

[Graham Gidman]

Fantastic build! Such a simple elegance!

I think it's dark tan. Edited December 10, 2014 by Graham Gidman

Muppet Treasure Island!

[Blufiji]

That is an amazing tree btw.

[Preuss]

I was going to say I loved the geese, but after opening the picture I was even more impressed by the turkeys. What an amazing build! Everything is great, but the variety of brick built birds is awesome!

Are the tree leaves just hanging from grass pieces? I usually have trouble getting the grass pieces to stay put by themselves, how did you manage that?

Best,

Julio

[Zerobricks]

Did you hand the ree leaves on plant supports? Awesome idea and final model!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

This is excellent. It all fits together - the tree, the hut, the river - and the animals!

Very well done!

[KCMatze]

Really awesome small build. The colours and the life in it are awesome!

Congrats to the frontpage

I believe the color on the chicken coop is olive.

Excellent build, great work with the irregular base, tree, coup, fence, and animals

Congrats on the front-page as well

[Slegengr]

Excellent build, Brother Steven!

The tree is my favorite part, with the curved SNOT branches and the draped foliage. The birds are all excellent as well. The landscape is perfectly quaint!

One small quirk, the roof edge over the door seems like it should be at the same angle as the roof. The gap in pieces and color difference makes the roof seem a bit unattached to the building.

Love it! So much detailbin a small area. It's terrific

[legopiratelord]

Wonderful scene, I love the edges just spilling out.

And I love the color of those leaves, are they official lego or 3rd party? I'd like to get some.

[Steph 104th]

^their official

Lovely creation, the geese are great, the organic border gives it a wonderful layout opposed to just being a square.

The leaves are avalible in 79006

[Legogal]

Love your many birds! And the lovely tree. Colors and details are perfect. Way to go!

[cesbrick]

Excellent scene! I think this is gonna be one of the category's with the most beautiful builds.

My favourite parts are the trees and the brick-built birds. Just excellent!

Good luck Steve!

[eurotrash]

Great looking scene with some really effective techniques and the birds are superb!

[nerdsforprez]

I am not sure if this was done on purpose or not....or if others notice how detail-oriented this build is...but notice the two white ducks crossing the river. They both have different elements that make up the wings at their side. One (the one that just crossed the brook) whose wings look right close to its side and the others (one that is crossing the brook, in the water) whose wings are fanned out.

This is just like it would be in real life. A duck in the water often flaps its wings to speed up the process or avoid getting wet. Again, not sure if this was done on purpose or not but if it was.........genious.

[King Aragorn]

Lovely little layout ...I like the tree and the birds!

I think it's dark tan.

Actually I believe that is Nougat, though I could be wrong.

Also, those tree leaves look amazing, but I can imagine how annoying they must be to deal with, they don't look very stable.

[Brother Steven]

Thanks for the great comments everyone!

The coop's roof is dark tan as is the barrel's lid

Actually yes, it was intentional! I'm glad someone saw that. :)

Nice MOC! I liked the general ideia and I really loved the tree. Congrats!
