Co-op farmers, coop chickens, coupe car

Great job, Jerri. Congrats.

At first I figured the first one was coup, pronounced "koo", like when the military seizes power from the government or a notable achievement (the farmers are outstanding in their field...), and the birds were pigeons that coo, and that Norma was misspelling coupe as coup, pronounced "koop". Then I realized the birds were chickens in a coop, and it all made more sense.

I like your train of thought, Juli :)

Ah, a co-op! Sneaky! I got coop and coupe, but couldn't turn "neighbors" or "fence" into something resembling a coop. :)

Sneaky is my middle name.

yeah, i got coupe and coop, and thought coup, so was looking for a bird cooing on the post? thought those farmers had maybe made a marvelous discovery or something, lol.
