Does this work? I can get another this weekend if not. This coop has a 4x6 living space, but has 5 nest boxes- way more than chickens can live in a 4x6.

Its the right setup for sure, do you think you can get a better pic of the nesting boxes though? I don't need it right now, still adding finsihgin touches to the article, but whenever you get the chance would be great!
Beautiful coop btw.

Not predator proof, didn't realize they needed a roost bar so they made one themselves outside, why have an inside coop if roost bar is outside.

Sure! I can this weekend, but probably not tomorrow.

Thank you! We didn't build it, but it works wonderfully for our four hens.

Can you post a link to your article in this thread so I can look at it when you get done?

Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else to add to this list? I can always change the title to top mistakes rather than top 10. Below is the list of the mistakes I have listed in order. If anyone thinks something should be moved around I would love to hear that to!
10. To many nesting boxes
9. Hard to clean
8. No roosts
7. Prefabs
6. No walls
5. Adding heat
4. Coop size
3. No preparing for rodents
2. Ventilation
1. Predator Proofing

If you're saying 'top ten' as in 'most common', then I'd go:
10. No walls
9. Not preparing for rodents
8. Adding heat
7. Too many nesting boxes
6. No roosts
5. Hard to clean (this and 6 are interchangeable on the list, imo)
4. Prefabs
3. Predator proofing
2. Coop size
1. ventilation

I was thinking most serious, like which is the most dangerous mistake for the chickens. But, I like this layout as well, and will keep it in mind for sure. Thanks for all your input @black_cat!
