Need a new coop design

My droppings board is actually the top of my built-in brooder.

Yes that should be fine. I used an 8x10 for 25 birds and it worked well. For our few cold days I would just hang a tarp over the front to keep the cold out. The front of the shed faced the south to protect them from the north wind. How many were you planning on getting?
