Here is a pic of the boxes I built for my coop. Idea came from a picture on here. Thanks to the person or people who posted them.
I still have to put the small perches on the front but ran out of light. They are 12"x11 1/4" standard lumber. It has a 45 degree n top to prevent roosting. I read that on here too.

Going to try to get it installed tomorrow! Here are some pics of the new coop.

Installing boxes on left wall. Across back wall with the roost and around the back corner on the right wall. Then the roof, finish and screen the windows with 1/2" wire and screen to keep mosquitos out. Install door and pop door and i'm Done! Time for the new chickens!
 
Nice looking coop! I wanted something bigger than what I built but city code prevented that. What are the dimensions on your coop?
 
8x8x8 Used standard length stuff so I didnt have to cut every board. 36" man door, 12"x12" windows (think i'm gonna do sliding windows), and a 14"x16" pop door. Going to have a flat slant roof.
