Backyard chickens are fun. When we lived in Texas, we (well, my wife and daughter) had six chickens. That was an upgrade from three, after my wife lobbied the city council to loosen the restriction on them. The eggs were nice. I noticed breeds named after New England states did not do well in the Texas summers. I hope yours fare better.
The coop looks great. I think chickens are allowed in my city - at any rate, I heard a rooster crowing on my walk this morning. Congratulations to your son, and best wishes to you and your family.
Good on yer son! Brute force is often the answer to some problems and fun if it's packaged as the cutoff wheel in an angle grinder spinning at over well 2000 rpm kicking a ten feet rooster tail of sparks behind you. I had mine out the other day removing runners that I'd bolted on to ahikio sled over 40 years ago to "improve" (Hey, we all make mistakes.) it.

Very nice job on the coop area!
But do you have a fishing pole? 8-)

Oh, that fun! No, I'm not fishing for chickens. I will probably go fishing at some point though. For fish!
