An Idea for a Good Hen House

Hello everyone!
The photo I attached shows my girls ready for roosting on a perch in our large bird aviary.
We don't have a hen house so we use the aviary instead.
They share the aviary with my dad's pet major mitchell cockatoo.
They have a feeder, water, nesting boxes, perches, space and are fairly safe and secure (it's just outside my bedroom window).
I keep them in the aviary at night and let them out free ranging during the day.
The aviary wire is strong and there are bricks as a foundation.
It is sheltered and the ground is soil so the girls can dig for food and have dust baths.
Thank you to those who read this!

Enjoy the rest of your day!

My Girls: One the far left of the perch, shows Henny Penny ( ex battery hen),
then Lilly, Angeline, and on the far right is Henrietta. Our other two ex battery hens
have passed away. Their names were Louise and Henrietta.

That looks and sounds like a nice housing arrangement! As long as they have adequate shelter in foul weather they should be fine in there.
