Here in Pennsylvania, a “chook” is a knitted cap. But we don’t have to build little houses for them.

Bill - I have to admit that I did bevel the top edges of the square sides to 11.5deg. Possibly not essential I like the idea of an owl house and a bat house. Do you have many residents? What sort of owls?

Kari - They pay us back with the best looking eggs!

Those are the best looking chook houses I’ve ever seen!

Mark, Of course you know I had to Google “Chook”!

But I know how you felt building something not so precise. I’ve done the same -and owl house, a bat house and garden things too.

However, closely examining your photos, while the box isn’t fine woodworking, it is neat and tidy - it certainly doesn’t look cobbled together.
