Hey! I am looking for a quick/easy/cheap coop plan for my son to build with his father for his flocks of bantam cochins. Ideally looking for something that can have a single frame but be divided into 3-4 seperate coops/runs. With easy access from the outside... 6-10 chickens per coop/run... something like this but with actual dimensions and plans

Beware of coop plan sales sites, they are often lousy designs.
Know what you need before choosing one.

It would help if you have dimensions on your sketch.
Graph paper can be very helpful in sketching first ideas out...use pencil so you can make modifications.

Why do you want 4 separate cops and runs?
That's would be a big building.
Good place to start planning space is minimal 4sqft per bird in coops and 10sqft in runs.
Roost length 12" per bird. Remember to place feeders and waterers and feed storage.

What we've come up with so far... working great. Very heavy, lol... didn't end up with the row style like I wanted, but I get overruled on most things, so whatever
