You are welcome to come up to the Lamont Ranch and see what we have. We certainly have more chickens than you but the principles would be the same. We have a high roof so we can walk right in. There is a "ladder" for them to roost on at night and nesting boxes are shared by multiple hens... they seem to like that. We spread straw in the bottoms every few months. The chickens chew at it, scratch at it, poo on it and it degrades. The result is (especially under the ladder) a very fine, composted fertilizer product the texture of peat moss. Not smelly but wonderful for the garden. We use it regularly.
Our chickens are allowed to free range during the day and they put themselves to bed in the coop as dusk approaches.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
