Chicken coop location

[Trenton Carroll]

I am wanting to build a chicken coop but I have a place in mind but don’t know if it will get enough sun for the chickens the location is behind my shed. Is this location okay or not?

About how many hours of sunlight would they get there they should get at least 5 hours of sunshine make sure they have shade tho so they can choose where they want to be so half shade half sun or so

I will let them out about 6:45am and up at dark it is more shade then it is sun but it is winter where I am and I am getting chickens in early spring so it might change back there thank you
