need some help with coop design

[bam5309]

so I have 6 8 week old chickens currently living in my basement. im hoping to get my coop finished my the end of the month. but im still trying to figure out how to do the roof and doors. and im wondering if I should Thompson seal the whole coop being that it's made from osb. I got my roosts built. im thinking no more towards a lean to roof. i also need to figure out how to connect the 3 boxes.

OSB isn't going to hold up to the weather unless you live in a desert climate. Sealing it may help for awhile. We have a OSB floor in our coop, it's sealed with a thick deck paint, but our coop is very dry, no water, thick layer of shavings and windows that open out so it doesn't rain in.

I live in Ohio lol. so no desert climate. i eventually want to put siding on.
