Advice for Chicken coop with Greenhouse together

Hey aart, the coop held up great over the winter. It was one of the coldest and snowiest on record, so it was pretty brutal. The girls spent most of their time in the greenhouse, they really seemed to appreciate the extra warmth. However, we did experience some pretty bad feather picking late in the season. I think they just got so bored. Next winter I'm going to wrap all three sides of the run with plastic instead of just the two. Hopefully that will encourage them to utilize that space. I've only got 6 birds in there so it's not like they were super crowded, but.....who knows? I just hope I can get a handle on the picking by then.
 

I just finished mt coop/greenhouse. Well almost. I still have to put the rest of shelving in
and connect potting sink.
 
Wow that is a nice coop/greenhouse! Love it!

Well...we need more pics than that!!
Some of the inside and all around.
It's a gorgeous little building!

Wonder tho about the hip roof on the run.......if the side nearer the GH gets the run too wet?
 






I have some of the coop. I will get some of the greenhouse side and post later. It is pouring outside and has many days. Run is dry under roof and fairly dry under area
without roof. I sank 2X8 with hardware cloth in ground to prevent anything from digging under but they also prevent runoff into run. There also is a tree over the unrooferd area.
 
NICE!!


I would think you'd have some roof runoff issues right here(red line).......but I am overanalytical and maybe can't see it well enough.
 
I put pavers there so I haven't had a problem. The roof has been on for months with lots of rain.
