Look at all the livestock barns in your area. Take note of ventilation. Take note on if they close it up or not. Look at a dairy barn and it's forced air fans. Do they run in winter? Is all that upper open air space needed with livestock? Yes. In the north the forced air fans are only run in summer but all that open space is still open in winter. Look around and take note of how those for generations have kept livestock in your area. Chickens no matter how much folks call them pets are livestock in an outbuilding that need proper venting to provide a dry area.
What's to note for difference is they don't need to go back to a hot barn to milk mid day. Only a coop to lay an egg and leave. Forced fans unless specific design for are not needed in poultry. Well, if you lock em in coop summer then yes it is.
