It's 8x8 and nowhere close to level. Can you tell? I'll try to add updates as I move along. I have about a month because I don't have room in the house for a dozen 5 or 6 week old chicks! Here is the current wreck.

I hope it's not too many pictures!

You have your work cut out for you. I am interested in seeing how it goes. :)
 
Odd that it is so off-kilter, but the basic structure looks okay. It has plenty of ventilation, which is a positive. Please add a couple of pictures of the interior.

Depending on the predators in your area, after leveling the structure, I'd look at upgrading the wire fencing. Chicken wire is good for keeping in chickens, but not great for keeping out raccoons and other predators.
 
Levelness is overrated.:)
Well, maybe, but in this case it's unacceptable.

It is odd it's so out of whack, 'back legs' sunken or broken?
It does appear to be in pretty good shape otherwise.
Is this on your property....or?
 
Oh my god I am crying. I answer the questions in the morning. It is a mess, the back legs sank, in going to use 1/2 inch hardware cloth. Anyone with spare time is welcome down to Alabama to help!! I smoke some mean pork!
 
You may be better off starting over.
