Looks super nice congratulations
I'm wondering why is the roof so high, it looks like you have two roofs one covering the coop then a higher one that's slanted is that correct?

The box is self contained, we built this in three pieces...the box, the run, and the roof. The reason its high is because with being next to a wall, we wanted to make sure theres plenty of circulation under the roof. I live in so California and we have some super hot days. I didnt want to stifle the circulation around the box, as its warm enough already. The roof is really just to keep the rain off the box and some of the run...most years we get very little rain, and no snow.

I'm in Wyo so don't deal with the heat that much would never have guessed that was the reason very smart
