This is what I have to start with for my coop!

You may be better off starting over.

Maybe.

But if main structural members are sound,
and they can get it jacked up out of the 'sink',
it might be a fine.

Tho might be good if you could move it, if it's real wet there.

I would put some cement block under all four corners and make it level, use these, they won't sink. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Cap-Concre...ctual-3-625-in-x-7-625-in-x-15-625-in/3608974
I think you actually have a good start, to a decent coop.

Blocks and poured concrete under the posts is the plan. I think it'll work. I'm moving the run to face the house and there is some framing I need to work on. Other than that just a door and exterior nesting boxes. I'm going to harbor freight to pick up a farm jack. That should handle getting that low side up.

Might want two jacks, one for each corner?.......best of luck and be careful!

Its sound. And not wet at all. We will see.

Get some blocks under there and it will be fine. You got the biggest part which looks pretty good so the rest is gravy.Good luck, and don't get worn out in this heat.

If you go up a little at a time, alternating each corner and block them, you should be fine.

One great thing is that your chickens will not judge you if it's not perfect. I keep telling my husband (he built mine) you know they are just going to poop all over it

OK. Update. I used my tractor, the boom and a 2x4 and got it leveled. It didn't sink, the posts rotted. I have 4x4s and cap blocks so I should be a lot closer tomorrow. It just got too hot! I will post pics soon.

Levelness is overrated.

I am sure the chickens will let that slide!

After more thought I've decided to go with concrete blocks.
