West Texas coop - questions and updates here!

Excellent decision!
You know chicken wire is not predator proof, right?
Turn those 2x4's on top on their edges to get rid of that sagging.
Will there be a solid roof?

Thanks for the advice! My husband is not a pro, hes just pretty capable, so much appreciated!! Yes I am aware of the lack of predator proofness of the chicken wire. Ive been a bit excited to let the chicks have some outdoor playtime, so for now (well, once the top is on) its just to keep them from getting away from me. They still have another 3 weeks in the brooder.

The plan is a second layer of fencing, its dog kennel fence. That will go up the bottom half, so 4 ft. Then there will be another shorter section of chain link, probably only a foot, as the plan with that is to bend it in an L and run it parallel to the ground to prevent digging.

There will be a roof. So outside the portion that will be the chicken condo - to start were going to use chicken wire and tarps- insta shade on a budget. We would like to have a proper roof built but that will be a work in progress- as were looking at plumbing for misters and that.

Again, any and all advice is much appreciated!
