That looks really wide open and airy. I'm in New Orleans and have been pondering my coop design for a while now... seeing this, I wonder if I need an enclosed part at all, aside from nest boxes.
How are you planning to enclose it come wintertime?
Looks nice! The only thing I would be leary about is the use of chicken wire... it isnt strong enough and the holes are two big... a raccoon will get right through it. Hardware cloth would be much safer. I had a raccoon or weasel get through a 1 inch hole and kill my quail so 1/2" would be recommended.

Im going to enclose most of the way with playwood, but on each side im going to have side runs. This is my first coop, still learning alot, and have learned lots on here, thank God for this site!!
