Will have 6 birds, 2 RR, 2 Rocks and 2 Blacks.
Now my wife wants to paint it to match the house, I told her we need to sell about 900 dozen eggs just to pay for what we have done so far. LOL Our grand kids are really looking forward to PaPa having yard birds and picking eggs.

i think it's BOMB PROOF!

Got to build them tough here where I live , so far this week the count is two large Skunks , one with a .22 long Rifle and one taken with my M4 Carbine [5.56 nato]

I'll have to get pictures of the birds, we should be having eggs ANY DAY NOW . The girls really like the coupe but it did take them about a week to find there box and now they love it . My wife still can't believe the girls know when to go inside, she gets a kick out of watching them go in for the night.
There is a pecking order on getting in the box and who sits where on the roost bars.

Lovely! And I like that you guys built such a deep overhang - that'll be a big plus.
