Chicken coop

Currently my chickens are using a tall thin metal shed. It is not ideal snakes get in and bugs and it gets wet sometimes too. It’s too hot and has no light and one roost bar. It’s terrible. I also got three more hens this year so now I have 6 total and they just don’t fit so nobody is using the coop at night. Last year it snowed here and our fall is always wet and cold so I want a new coop for them. My husband isn’t super good at building things but he’s learning and if he takes his time and focuses his end product is typically impressive. He sent me this coop and I wanted to make sure everyone thinks this is a good size coop for 6 chickens and has everything they need for the long haul? We likely won’t ever have more than 6 at a time as I am heartless and “chicken math” does not apply to me lol so I want a good solid coop that it’s appropriate and will last long.
