How to house meat bird in a stationary coop?

Thank you! Do you have any exterior photos? And also, that picture is so awesome šŸ¤£
Oddly, , I donā€™t have much for photos of the exterior. But hereā€™s what I have from the year we built it.

The frame. Yes, there is a live trap in the middle bc we were seeing evidence of raccoons even though nothing was housed there yet. Also, the wood at bottom will be the anchor the the subsequent attachment of underground wire and water deflection. Compost bins are in lower left of pic.

Cross beams for structural support. Nice amount of room in the pen.

We installed a half wall, so there is shade and wind protection, or visual disruption if whole pen used. And this is where we put guides so the pen can be divided with slats (tongue and groove siding) that are light and easy to slide in or put away on top of the half wall when not in use.

Pen divided- you can see the slats next to the partial wall.

Old dryer drum on blocks is a warm spot for chicks.
