Chicken Coops on Slopes

[Chicken Wizperer]

So, our new family house is currently being renovated and it is on a slope. I would like to keep chickens there, however the slope is making me worry about a coop. Are there any suggestions for what I could do, or something like that? All help is very much appreciated!

I'm on a slope and I built two coops with a covered run between them. Here are photos you can see and maybe glean some ideas from them. https://www.backyardchickens.com/gallery/albums/new-pen.6343434/

Do your foundation/retaining walls keep any runoff out of the coops and run?

The run is perfectly free of run-off. I have rain gutters inside the run to drain water coming off the coop roofs at each end of the run, and I've diverted outside run-off away from the run. Just had two inches of rain and the run remained dry except for where the fiberglass roofing panels have small leaks. But no chickens got wet. No, we can't have that.

You have a great 'chicken compound'...would love to see an aerial view/floor plan of it.
