Lessons learned - do's and don'ts!?

[aart]

Howdy. I am starting to design what I call "the perfect coop" for a small backyard flock of 5-8 hens with an integrated coop and run. I'd love to hear your "lessons learned" from your builds.

Curious are you going to be designing/building this coop for yourself......or to sell?
