Salt box style or amish style coop

Everything looks really great. The choice of a tree branch for the roost is very wise. The only thing is that if I am seeing it correctly it looks like their roost is awfully high. It shouldn't be much more than 18" or so, otherwise when they jump down they could hurt their legs and/or feet. Inside the coop they don't have room to flap their wings to soften their landings.

Really excellent looking coop so far!
 
There are two 2x4's on their side like a ladder they use. I have watched them coming down and they use them. A couple times they flew down and seemed to do fine. Things i have read and from my experience the high the roost the more they like it.
 
Great job on the coop and run. Great looking flock also. How long is your run or did I miss it in your post?
