Coop too small?

Looks good should be well vented like that, my only thing is what's stopping the rain from pouring in?

We're considering if rain comes temporarily closing some of the triangle up. It shouldn't be much of an issue with the snow because of the hardware cloth. So that may just be next springs project :/. Open to input!

Maybe you could extend the roof?

Would be easy on the one side, but not sure on the nesting box side. Atleast not in a way that I like/ find visually appealing that my husband says will work well . Lol I've asked quite a bit of him these past few weeks. Once it started dropping below freezing I wanted this done ASAP. So I think we will push that out till spring. He does however work wonders so I'm excited to see what we come up with in the spring. Everyone has been supper helpful. I appreciate all the feedback. I'll try to update over time.

Snow can blow thru HC....BTDT...had to put some furnace filter blocking.

I'd be cautious about closing it because the venting is already minimal.

Better to follow @aart's advice about the furnace filter material. (I'm thinking of trying that in my brooder's vents if I do any winter hatches because while they're well-sheltered from rain, snow is lighter and can be blown in by swirling winds.
