Maybe I should skip the coffee and go back to bed!

I was confused by your comment that the birds would get poopy feet with my setup. You we're correct that if reorienting the roost was the only change the birds would end up walking through poop more. I hadn't recommended doing that without also installing an elevated poop board for just that...

But along with the recommendation to move the location of the roost, I also recommended the installation of a poop board to catch droppings. This is a full height coop now so a shelf-like poop board installed 8-12 inches below the roost and above the height of the pop door would make for easy...

I would reconsider the placement of the roosts relative to the human door. It looks to me that you'll basically be walking right into roosts and that any access to the far end will be impeded by the roosts. I would probably put a single long roost the whole width of the coop now. Personally...

What's to stop them from roosting on that other crossbar and pooping over the edge of the tray?

With the new design birds' access to the roosts are even more limited. They are not necessarily going to jump up and file nicely down the length of the roosts just because you want them to. I anticipate a traffic jam at the end with birds camping out there and access to the back being blocked.

I can't see the dimensions very well. It looks like the run is wider than tall. I'm thinking your going to have to potentially have to buy hardware cloth to fit the larger dimension and cut it down to fit the smaller one resulting in waste. Or you might buy 2 rolls of different dimensions and...

You need to subtract the area of the ramp opening from your square footage.
