Here is my Coop that I built when I lived in the Bay Area. Kept 3 hens in there. Rehomed both the coop and the chickens when we exfiltrated late last year.

I now have about 50 wild chickens on our 6000 sf lot daily and about 20, mostly juveniles right now, roost under the house every night. I am going to build some nesting boxes to stick under there and see if I can't get some of them to start giving us eggs.

Predators mostly. Being off the ground keeps things dry also.

Don't be surprised if you find Nuke squatting that in the morning. Most pampered chickens ever...

My nest box is raised a little compared to the plans, but it gives a flat surface so I can clean it easier, and I can hide the height difference when I add the siding.
