Had to share! We were so excited to ( almost ) be done with our coop. Any tips on winterizing???

Do you think their is proper ventilation? It has the two windows as pictured, also, their are vents on either side of the coop toward the wall and ceiling. I just want to make sure I'm doing all of this right. Ha-ha!
Personally, I don't subscribe to the philosophy of no drafts. I know chickens can live in trees. How does one keep drafts out of trees.
I have huge openings on both the east and west walls of the new buildings I've built. The wind blows right through. I've lost birds to summer heat but never one to cold.
I never close off any ventilation regardless of time of year.
Quote: Most frostbite is caused by high humidity (often because of lack of ventilation) coupled with freezing temps, rather than drafts.
This is where the balance between moving air up high to remove humid air and too strong of drafts near roosts can be hard to achieve, especially in a small, short coop.
