Leaky roof and not enough circulation equals bad odors. And an incubator for bacteria and fungus.
Your coop needs to be dry and well ventilated.
My 4x4 coop has 2 windows with hardware clothe on either end and the door into the run, both open 24/7 unless closed for a specific reason (bad storm coming, really cold, etc..),
Roof is home-level roofing. layer of tar paper, doubled at the peak, drip edges and full asphalt shingles.
I use hay in my coop and have no issues with odor, because it stays dry.
