Pressure treated plywood is okay for exterior use (it's more expensive than regular plywood) as long as you stain or paint it. I have out building like this that have been around for more than 20 years. They just need ocassional painting to keep them solid.
I have used plywood for years for making Pigeon Lofts and find it ideal for that, also I glue and pin the hardwood framework to the outside having the walls inside like the walls of your house, so much easier to clean, to me sheds with the frames inside just don't look good and very untidy. I always use the best WBP grades of ply and use a preserving woodstain outside.
2very important points: the overhangs and having vents that will let moisture and heat out. Take a look at thd "Sweeter heaters" for winter (radiant heat).
I don't want to heat my coop because I am worried that if the power went out they'd all get too cold and die because they're not used to it. Two of my friends that have had chickens for YEARS haven't had problems with the cold, and the earth is only getting warmer. I thought that the moisture and heat getting out was good?
Wyandotte? I have a little bantam wyandotte hen looks like yours without the comb. What a great little mother she is too.I got these really pretty pre-primed OSB siding sheets from Home Hardware (I’m in Canada). They have a wood grain texture and they’re standard 4x8 sheets. I painted with exterior paint and voila! Holding up exceptionally well.sealed the seams with outdoor silicone too. You can see the texture behind the boy in the box. Lol.

you certainly could use plywood. It would need to be sheltered because it will rot quickly if exposed to rain.
Sebright. Beautiful just like wyandottes, but teeny tiny bantams!
