The big coop we built for raising meat birds. 8' x 8', attached to a big pasture. Full sized door, clear section of roofing for a sky light, wired for electricity. Fun detail the hubby added was 6" of ventilation all around the top and the walls change what side of the 2x4s they are on halfway down to give another gap for air flow.
The big coop and attached pasture, running out to the stone wall.
The inside of the big coop, showing the removable roosting bars and the gap in the walls for ventilation.

The view of the duck hut from the front.
The duck hut for our muscovy ducks, including the attached pen. The hut is 4' x 8' and the pen is 8' x 8' x 8'. There are branches in the pen for roosting. They're rarely locked in, but it's there if they want it in bad weather, the crumbles go in the feeder, and we used it to keep our drake contained when he got injured.
One of our girls demonstrating the nest box.
The nesting box on the back of the layer coop. We had to rebuild after the first nesting box sprung a leak. We also discovered that our barred rock girls needed a bit more space, so there are three boxes instead of the original four. The whole back opens up.
