Here is a few of our coop that we are building...

It's gonna be 10 foot by 12 foot and 7 foot high in the front...

Excellent job so far.

Why aren't you at least setting it on pier blocks? One on each corner, one in the middle of each span. 8 in total, $80 max, and it will elevate your coop off of the ground (one corner is touching, but it looks like you have a PTGT block there), and I can see that you are putting a lot of time and effort into your project. Carpentry looks very well planned out. The foundation is the most important part of every structure. I'd suggest doing that now before you get too much weight to jack up.
 
The way it is sitting is just how it happened to level out... We designed this coop to be loaded onto our trailer and be moved (since we will be moving by the end of june anyways... At the new house, it will be completely off the ground and level.

Also, here are some more pictures from lastnight... About 75% done or so.

Wow. I just realized that you can't even see the chicken door in the last picture... It's on the left side by the ladder...

Also the roosts that I built should work perfect, since I sat on them myself and didn't land on my "you-know-what"... LOL
