I did the same thing. It's a POS and they moved right out of it and just love to sit around under it. All of those with that kind of wood are cheap cheap. I added floor support and insulation as we get snow. But the first 3 birds filled it up.All of these little prefab coops in a box lie about how many birds they can hold.
False advertising.
Next bought 4x6 resin shed. Works great - we added a window and it has bottom and top ventilation. But too small for 5 girls - so go bigger if you can. They need room to fly or hop down from the roost bars - 3-4 ft. trajectory.
Mine is in conjunction with a 10x20 covered dog run. The chain link is great - but we had to add chicken wire to keep rodents out.
Solar spotlights work wonderfully for night lights.
