Plz show me your coop additions

[gritsar]

It's been decided that the best way to handle my flock suddenly increasing from 14 to 46

is to increase the size of my current coop (vs. a second coop). The coop addition will need to provide roosts, feeders and waterers. There's room in the main coop for more nestboxes.
I'd love to see how you expanded your existing coops.
Our original coop is 8 X 8 X 8 ft. high (don't ask. We're not sure what we were thinking

). The addition will be 8 X 8, but only about 5 ft. high. It's going to require some stooping on my part, but that's alright. I was thinking along the lines of having a partially open coop, hardware cloth sides, but DH wants the walls to be solid since we do get cold winters.
TIA

I like your addition, but DH wants mine to be solid walls due to the winters. I don't have a pen area because my birds free range.

Do they free range in the winter too?
