Looks like you have the eaves blocked off, I would unblock them all and cover the openings from the outside with hardware cloth,
two bends to attach it to the wall, bottoms of rafters and back of fascia.
Take a look at My Coop page to see how I did mine with a very similar eave structure.
Agrees....get in there with a flat shovel and stir things up to see if you have a moisture problem.I'm thinking that the problem might be coming from the pine wood pellets. Don't they just turn to sawdust when they get wet? If they've formed a wet, compact layer below the leaves then they might be a source of anaerobic composting which stinks.
Pine shavings are less likely to pack when damp....dry leaves don't absorb much.
