This is less a chicken coop than it is a work of art. That's some upscale bird condo you've built. The information is both useful and interesting. And it's a great topic for a post. The more people turn to ways they can reclaim independent living , the more relevant this will become.

I'd love to see you do a follow-up to this -- a longer post with more pictures. I'd love to see some shots of inside the egg boxes ... and if pictures of the inside are too hard to get, maybe a description of how you've designed things in there.

Also, how do you feed and water the chickens? Bowls? And if the coop floor isn't on the ground, is lots of spilled food a problem? How easy is it to clean (every woman's question!!) ... or is that not an issue?

How portable is this? Do you move it from time to time? Was that any kind of consideration in the construction?

Being so far south, maybe winter isn't as much of a problem for you ... but do you have to make any special provisions in cold weather? How do the hens get into the upper story? Can they fly in that enclosed area enough to make it that high?

Are there things you'd do differently in building another one? Is 2 - 5 eggs a day enough for your own family ... or do you plan another one / a larger one that would accommodate more hens?

Just some questions that might make another / 2nd post from this same topic. (2 posts for the price of 1 ... for double the votes!!)

Welcome to Steemit ... and to our group! I hope you enjoy being part of the project as it grows!
