Easiest Coop I've Built

[aart]

Nice little building!
Any ventilation along the soffits?
Not sure what the first pic is showing us.....nice carport tho.
In last pic what the smaller red coop(?) off the the right?

The soffits vent to the space above which the old farmer used as some sort of coop. Feathers and shavings up there. Very strange. The windows on the front open but going to cut holes in under soffit to vent main coop when winter sets in and windows aren't open. 1st pic is the run 14x30 and thats my shop( little red building)

Little red building looks really little...must be an optical illusion.

Is there a solid floor in space above?
Soffits need gable and/or ridge vents to work well...
...might want to open floor/ceiling above.

Funny, there was another coop thread recently with a similar issue in an older building.

Wow! Looks great for what used to be a shed! It's nice that it already had some windows too

Had thought about taking ceiling out. At some point the roof leaked and some of it is rotten and don't really see a reason to have it and as far as gable vents there are 2 big ones that face the direction the wind blows. Its working for now and plenty of other projects around the farm to do. Probably take the ceiling out in the winter when the list of things todo is hopefully smaller

I put those in. Roadside find. Ones on other side of coop don't open so made those open for extra ventilation

Doves or pigeons upstairs maybe?
