Need advice!

Me and my partner just recently go into chickens. And we built a coop together a lot of starting over and redoing but just wanted y’all advice and Opinion

Nice big space and lots of light and ventilation. Not sure if they'll use those branch roosts because of all the twists and turns, but you can swap those out if it turns out to be an issue.

Okay thank you! Yeah still in the works thinking about taking those down and making a roosting latter.

You want your roost higher than the nests.
How many birds are you having?
Only need 1 nest per every 3-5 layers.
So might want to remove the top row of nests.
..and what's with the fringe over the nests?

It’s just for decoration and looks might not be everybody cup of tea but we love it! So if I take out the top nesting box’s what should I put there nothing? And I have 9 hens and 1 rooster

Eh, could maybe put in a storage cabinet/shelving on top, if you want something like that. Doesn't really hurt to have the extra nests (and you certainly have plenty of space for 10 chickens) but you really don't need them either.

Thanks for the advice this is my first time raising chickens so definitely appreciate your polite feedback I have another barn for storage maybe just build roosting bars up top or somthing? Or just leave them in case in the future I do get more hens?

Might as well leave them, they may or may not get used and no reason to go to the effort to take them out since you don't need the space.
