In need of coop advice!

This only photo i have of my coop on my phone right now. We are planning to repaint our house and i want the coop to match, but until we have the time and money to do so, I just white washed the coop to protect it from the elements. If you would like more photos, id be happy to send them.

Also, check the "cull" bins at the hardware stores or lumber yards. You can get boards 70% off. They may have a bow or a crack in them but you work with them or cut the bad piece off. I just bought 4 16' x 2" x10" pressure treated boards for $6.40 ea. They are normally $21 ea. I don't even have a project in mind but you cant turn that down. NOTE: Splits can but cut out and bows can be forced back into place or reduced as you cut the boards shorter, but twists are too much aggravation to fool with.
If you would not mind sending more pictures. It looks awesome from this pic!

Here you go! The nesting boxes are accessed from the outside. Food water can be refilled and eggs gathered without entering the coop. Rain barrel provides water in warm months. Elevated keeps predators at bay and provides a place for dusting underneath.

Thank you! That's looks awesome. I actually told a friend of mine about your advice and coop and she is looking into it as well. I will show these to my husband. Thanks so much!
