Is edge bent up like that to act as a gutter?

I'd keep a close eye on that, preferably during a good rainfall...
....have my doubts it will shed water properly and you don't want the nests getting wet.

Update. Got it framed and painted. Also put metal on nesting box. Making door and installing blue metal roof over run by end of weekend.

Has it rained on that pseudo-gutter/nest-lid yet?

One solid rain. Dry inside but didnt get to watch it. I also put some roof caulking where the metal run roof touches the coop and neat box roof
