Is this a good coop design?

Best friend we have for keeping our birds safe. Hardware cloth. Now we need pics of your chicks

Here are the chicks pictures
I have three RIR, two Maran, two Java and two Americuana. Very excited to see these little ones grow up and live together with the six adults that were already at the property.

Thanks for your information, that is so helpful! I am not sure how I want to build the roost, maybe build a small ladder for them to reach the top. From the left wall to the nest box is about 5 feet. There is a lot of space in the front of the coop. Currently there is a small brooder which is almost falling apart. Is houses 3 chicks, probably about 5-6 weeks old. They are growing so fast that I would like to build them something much more spacious this weekend.
I have attached more pictures of the coop.

Ah, that coop is much bigger than I thought. You could put the booder by the door like you have now and maybe cover the sides during the winter.

A front opening brooder is the best as you enter at the chicks height and they will not be scared of you. At first my brooder was top only which I discovered that entering from the top is like a predictor coming from above and they run.

As originally built.


Here is a short video showing the modified side opening.

And here is @aart very nice brooder.
