I used the design from the purina mills coop that was posted on here a few days ago.

But I made changes. For one I used 4x4 instead of 2x4 for the corner posts. Also the roof is attached and not just sitting on top. Also the back hatch it was changed to 2 doors instead. When we tried to use the drop hatch it was a pia to get over it to reach inside. Also used the roll roofing instead instead of the corrugated roofing. I also used two floor vents under the front to add some ventilation that I could control.
My supplies, and the rabbit hutch I got for free.
Frame and base.
Walls are up and the roof is on.
The roost is in.
The front minus the box.
The box.
Hailey and Bo inspecting the back.
All done minus the paint!
And one of Molly.
Don't have any of the chicks as it was dark when we finished.
