Usually I take pictures of the chicken coop from the door side, which faces west. This is the south side. My brother Boo and his crew painted this side this spring. They figure one side a year, they'll have this building painted by 2010.

The preferred siting for chicken coops is to have the windows face south, here in the US. It's something about maximizing winter sun exposure and minimizing winter. Is it reversed in Oz?
