Is there any way to get inside?

My coop is in our fenced in garden, our ducks have free range of the garden for now because the garden beds are in raised planters. We are in an urban setting.

SWOON!!
Did you build this? With a plan or on your own? Want to come build one for me?

If you do an internet search for "woods open air coop" you can find the plans on a pdf. My husband is a contractor and he built it for me

Wow, that's gorgeous! You must have a lot of chickens. I love all the openings to keep the air flowing, AND that nice, big door for humans!!!

5x8 mini coop up by the house.(actually a sanctuary for older or ailing chickens, never more than 1 -3 chickens in there) 12x14 coop with attached 12x10 run (main coop, 8 -11 chickens in here) nestled in the tree line. Both open air designs for dealing with our gruesome summers.

Here’s mine. 8x8 garden shed design. Still a work in progress but got the chicks in it already. I’m no carpenter but I think it looks pretty good so far. The run is temporary. Plan on adding a 20x8 run in place of the dog kennels I used. Trying to source materials where I can. Only have about 600 bucks in it so far.

Where are you located and how many chickens do you have?

Climate matters tremendously. My Neuchickenstein (no coop page yet, but here's the build thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/large-open-air-coop-in-central-nc.1443812/ and featured in my hot climate article: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/hot-climate-chicken-housing-and-care.77263/ is perfect for people in hot climates but is wildly unsuited for severe winters.

This is my first coop: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/the-little-monitor-coop.76275/

This is my brooder: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/run-to-outdoor-brooder-conversion.76634/
