How does my coop look?

[Sussex19]

I was wondering what the coop experts on here think of my coop and run.
Particular in respect to how many chickens can it take, and the ventilation.
The chickens do go out most days into a much bigger run.

We'd need numbers to best calculate - i.e. coop floor space minus nests, run floor space, length of roost, total ventilation that's open 24/7.

Looks pretty good. Agree with @rosemarythyme dimensions would be great.

My only concern is the that wall ventilation looks to be directly across from roosting bars, which possibly could be a concern

I should have thought of that!
I'll go out with a tape measure tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply!
My dad built it for me, and we didn't really know what was wanted, so all suggestions welcome. Would it be better somewhere else?

Ventilation should be above the chickens heads when they are roosting

I see that you are from NSW Australia. What are your hottest and coldest temps? That can make a huge difference in the amount of ventilation needed and where it is located

Yep, above heads. When there is a draft and it ruffles feathers is when they lose heat and is probably just not comfortable regardless if freezing cold or just cool.

In summer it gets to around 40C, and in winter the coldest is around -10C. However, that only if its a very still night, and if its windy or rainy it won't get nearly that cold. It snows about once a year.
I've only had chickens for a year and a half, and the last few years have been very mild, so I don't really know what its like in the heat.

If you look at the photo from the outside, would it be better if the vent was where the panel above the vent is now?
Apart from that vent, and the small door they go in by (which stays open most of the time) thats the only proper ventilation, although there is a lot of cracks in all the walls which make quite a difference.
