What chicken coop do you have and what do you like about it

It looks like I am going to build one, because I was looking at coops and for $500 I can have one that holds 8 chickens has no run and has a notice on the bottom that says: IF USED OUTDOORS NEEDS PROTECTION FROM RAIN AND SNOW.
I have a large run already so now I am just drawing the plans, how big do I need it to be to hold 15 hens and 4 nesting boxes?

These are the poop boards my dh built for me and I love them,they make cleaning so much easier and the smell is cut way down,I clean them every day and use sweet pdz in them and use a kitty litter scoop to scoop out the poop into a pail then dump it is the compost pile.

I built these 8' by 8' by 4' high pens. That are wrapped around and under with livestock fencing. On the top is half of the fiberglass 2' by 8' panel and the other half is livestock. Easy to move around. Critter proof, except for bears and big animals. This summer I am going to add small coop to hang from the top for a permanent place for my birds.
