I can't be bothered dissecting all the suffices of that extremely long and highly unlikely word, but I'll take up your challenge:

裏*には二羽鶏があります。

うらにわにはにわにわとりがあります。

Uraniwa ni wa niwa niwatori ga arimasu.

There are two chickens in the back yard.

In writing, definitely...but you'd be able to tell the two meanings apart from context and vocal inflection (obsiously :p).

Not bad at all though.
