Chicken coop

What coop? If you have a proper coop, why don't you show a picture of it?

I do not want to be rude, I try to understand what you expect us to answer to your questions.

I
show you a picture already?

I

show you a picture already?

I have not yet seen any picture of a chicken coop. Please, show again if you think you already did, maybe I missed it.

The roof is the blue thing

I see a tarp hanging down the side but can't see the top of it.
Need to see the entire roof.... from inside and out.

Even just sleeping in a damp place can cause respiratory problems. They need a dry coop.

I would try to move the downspout over the coop, and down the outside of it, and then a good bit away. That will take care of the water in the coop, and also potential leakage through the roof.

A tarp is not a roof. You need something that will stand up to rain, wind, and snow. A metal roof, or something similar, will work better.

There also seems to be very little ventilation in your setup, unless I can't see it in that picture.

Is the floor sloping, or does water pool inside, even without the downspout in there?

Ah, I see.

This looks like just two nesting places, I do not see any roosts for the chickens to sleep on comfortably.

Are there other parts of coop or is this all there is?
