Chicken coop quesiton? 10 points to best?

Is this coop a good coop? I bought the plans and I am thinking of putting some cabinate door things (so that I can open and close them if it is rainy or not) on the long open parts in the front that are covered with chicken wire. Here is the link and you can click on more photos ot view more photos. http://www.chickchalet.com/index.html thanks! best answer!!

1. ofcours your are all right
2. yes but it matters how many chickens you have and if u are use chicken wire there is going to be a problem with the rain side of the story very good coop thought
3. It looks fine, and I'm not sure what the first answer means.
4. its kind of small, but efficient. the setup for the droppings is kind of outdated, my cousins have the droppings fall into these compartments that you can take out of the side of it. its easier to clean, and saves allot of time. your idea about the cabinate doors sounds like a really good one, especially if it rains often where you live. but all in all its a pretty good chicken coop.
5. hmm can i suggest having a removeable bottom with the wire underneath supporting it? it wont be comfortable on the chickens feet and could cause sores, the poop that remains on the wire could then infect their feet. other than that its a very good secure coop though, im sure foxes would be deterred more if the bottom had more than just wire though.
6. i think you should try these plans
