So I'm finally getting around to building my coop and run. I'm looking for and feedback you guys can give me and don't worry, I have thick skin if you think I'm failing, please let me know.
I have a decent size shed so I sectioned off a 6x4 area and thought i could cut a door through the side of the shed. I'm going with a 2 floor plan. So they will walk into the bottom, where they will have some room to be chickens, and then up the ramp to the upper part which has 2 nesting boxes and their roosting log. Does that work? Also outside the run will be 5x8 completely fenced in, but not covered for rain, just chicken wire. I plan on getting 4 hens for eggs and pets. I'll try to post some pictures of my progress. Let me know if you see and flaws.
Thanks

So that picture with the grapes is the walkway. I will completely clear that and secure it as my run. That's tomorrow
 
Welcome to BYC!

I see you have a few live traps there, chicken wire will not keep predators away from chickens.

Pics of the whole shed from farther away might help.
