HC from exterior floor to ground

Your question is already answered well.
But just gotta say I love the big roof overhangs,
don't love the windowsill supports<cringe>,
but it's a chicken coop<shrugs> :D

What’s wrong with the sill supports? Now is the time for change!

Well, if you look at standard wall construction, the studs supporting the window framing should be solid rather than 'sistered' as shown circled in red.
Green is fine.
Same goes for studs supporting top plate of wall,
as they all support the weight of the roof.

Gotcha!! Knowing my hubby, the reason for it was to not waste lumber. Got love love penny pinchers! :fl

ETA: I just looked at past photos... originally it was framed correctly BUT! I ended up raising the window height after he had them all framed

I agree with the window rough openings. But it being a chicken coop, I would just fill in the gaps on those two short left jack studs and shoot them into the king studs and they'll be fine.
The whole structure is small enough as to not worry about the cripple studs being scabbed together like that.
 
So it's your fault!! ;)
It might not be an issue, it's coop not a house.
It’s always my fault!! :frow Especially with this. I’m always second-guessing myself because I want it dont right the first time. And I may drive him a little crazy with changing my mind lol

Thanks!! I’ll hint that change. He’s been doing construction for 18 years and built my brother-in-law’s house ground up.. which is still standing! I guess that qualified him to build me a coop :lau
 
My coop is built (overbuilt!) at least to code for it's size. When a 30 ft. spruce fell on it last year, only a couple of holes were punched in the roof. No framing issues at all, it was solid.
I'd fix that framing; it's easy now, and a pain later.
