Years ago my husband built some protective PVC and chicken wire covers for my planters. They work great as a Chicken Play yard. I won't have chicks until much later in the summer, due to a trip to CO to see my daughter in July. But I am getting things ready slowly but surely.
I came up with an idea for a Chicken TV Patio beside the Chicken Play yard.
You will have to use your imagination, and don't laugh!!! I moved some flagstones around from other parts of the yard.
Then... on a walk with Cherokee, I found an old wooden umbrella someone was throwing away... Yes, I am a "Trash Picker"! So... I decided I would use it for some afternoon shade for the new Chicken TV Patio. This is where I plan to put my Garden Bench http://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/garden-bench.18965/#post-256402 when it is finally finished
The the far left, I made a planter bed. Sunflowers, Morning Glories, and a Cape Honeysuckle. If the Cape Honeysuckle makes it, a friend dug it up out of her yard... and it is pretty much in shock at the moment. The plan is that the Honeysuckle and Morning Glories will grow on the umbrella to give me lots of shade when the temps are over 100 here. I anchored the umbrella in a huge coffee pot with concrete, then put the can in a 5 gal plastic pot then buried it in the ground, and planted Nasturtiums and Morning Glories in the pot.
Wish me luck with this project!!!

What do you have growing in the flagstones?
I am so glad there is none of it growing on our new place. And in your yard it is a beautiful ground cover! 
Go figure.
