Why does everyone want to put this majestic rooster and his friends in cages?!! I live near a village with chickens roaming, and they're beautiful and free. I hate the idea of confining this handsome gent; please, no chicken wire!
I agree with the suggestion to make photocopies and try out some designs with pencil first, and also agree with the idea that less is more with a stunning work like this. White or off-white/ecru stitching of pebbles and maybe grasses below their feet could look nice, and/or some echoing of the birds themselves, say three lines, unevenly spaced so they seem to radiate from the birds. Either increasing or decreasing width between lines could work.
