Need help once again. Lean to style coop and run

[junior67]

I wouldn't cut the angle too sharp, you want as much space as possible where the rafter meets the wall for soffit ventilation..with a good 18" of overhand beyond wall, then add a fascia to help block the wind.

what I was going to do for the coop is the same design as the run with the 7' wall down to 5' over the 6' width. Then I was going to go up 5' around the whole coop with plywood. (I will try to draw it up. So then the other spots from the 5' and above on the 3 walls would be HWC for ventilation. The front would be all wood.

Started building the new coop and run. It is attached to my existing run. I am leaving the HWC and door between them. Most times the door will be open so they have use of it all but I like the option of being able to make them 2 separate spaces if needed. Here is the progress so far.

We didn't have our chainsaw since someone borrowed it. So work on it then got the chainsaw and took it down. So it is down in the last 2 pics. The rafters weren't tied down yet so we just moved them out of the way. We just did the birdsmouth on them so wanted to be sure they worked. Lol

Not good planning on our end. Lol

Oh, Good!
Guess I didn't look close enough at all the pics.

Looks good!
With leaving the last section separate someday you could close it off to grow grass or clover (if it gets enough sun) for the chickens.

Ya not sure there would be enough Sun. It is shaded with trees. Right now it only has a few dandelions in it. Lol

Got the HWC up for the run section. We still have 2 rafters to install but since we are leaving the existing door we need to cut it down so it can swing open fully so haven't installed those yet since the doop hits them. Hopefully weather cooperates and we can get they plywood up for the coop walls tomorrow, and possibly cut door down to get last 2 rafters up and purlins up.
