Hi getting ready to build my first coop/run. I have the design in my head but stink at the putting it down on paper part lol. Anyone out there wanna help?

Well, you could do a rough sketch of the outside, front, side, back, top, bottom views. Then you could do the framing sketch; top, bottom, etc...

google sketchup is amazing. takes a little time to get used to it - but a free 3d drawing tool...
theres also several plans you can purchase online, like the gardencoop and also chicken coop building for dummies book

We got by simply drawing out the coop with dimensions written in then building from there. I'm on my phone so the best pic I can do is a link to my blog post where I shared my design. I can't believe it was back in February!
