It looks like your foundation is just some granite blocks lying on a gravel pad? Are your sills anchored to those blocks? Having not gone below the frost line, are you concerned about frost heave?
Well done on the build, Simon. And thank you for a break from most of the grim news flooding my inbox. As a father myself, always love seeing the joy of other small people attendant on hanging around projects like this.
I'm so sorry to hear about the geese. I'm glad the chickens will have a good home, and some day your future geese can enjoy this lovely palace. Thanks for sharing your journey in building it!
Looks great Simon!

Bravo! I'm impressed by the craftsmanship and inspired by the journey. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. Loved the Chesterton quote. I shared his quote in one of my recent posts 'The Eternal Appetite of Infancy"
