That certainly is a Taj level chicken coop!! Wowie - I literally know Burmese refugee families who live in smaller-less-sturdy dwellings.
I'd be terrified of snakes going in though - it'd be so toasty warm and cosy, right? How DO you snake proof it?? If the chickens lay close to the wall on a hot morning, do the eggs cook themselves by lunchtime? 🤣
Are you selling the excess eggs? Or dehydrating?
They DO look very snuggly in the Arctic MEL winter.
I know right? We could even happily live in it. The nesting boxes are on west side, with arvo sun, and the elder trees plus a eucalypt will shade from morning sun in summer.
Excess eggs will be sold and/or traded and/or gifted to family..so far Jarrah has happily taken excess eggs as he can't afford them at moment and will only eat eggs from happy hens.
We have NEVER had a snake so close to house. I suspect the many birds of prey and a large resident magpie family keep them away. Funny how they used to pick on the chooks when they first arrived - now they try to protect them from intruders!!!
