(2) 2×6 are wider than the 2×3s. I don't have a power planner to thin one of the 2×6. I could have used a large antique hand plane but since the extra material will be inside coop it won't be a problem.Now I see the notch in the stud...maybe not notched deep enough?
The top photo on post No.5 has the lath tacked in place around the window blocking the view of the jacks, or are they cripples? I don't remember do jacks support the end of the header and a cripple under the sill framing member?
I never got as far as laying out rafters. I could hold my own laying out and building stud walls, but thats really basic stuff.
The few guys my age that I know that stuck with framing for a career are pretty beat up. It's good hard work for a young person. I had fun. I mostly worked with or for friends from the neighborhood that were also in their early 20's.
