I am an absolute beginner. My grandmother had chickens when I was a small boy, and I've always wanted to have a few hens. I have been reading as much as I can on this website and believe it to be a valuable resource. After browsing through coop designs, I settled on the Maxwell house coop.They used 1/2 in hardware cloth on the laying box doors for ventilation, and I like the idea, however, I'm in an area where varmints are going to be a constant battle. Is this a security breech? Most coop designs dont ventilate on the laying boxes.Do they want it to be dark?
Sorry for the rookie questions, probably more to come.
Thanks in advance.
