Crowing
It's a very nice looking coop, but you rely on doors and windows for ventilation, and there is no roof overhang to help keep rain out of cut in venting. Ventilation needs to be permanent, and never closed up. Can you open up that side with the run attached?Here's my coop. Let's cut away! Today I had both front doors open as well as both windows on the E and W sides.
This is the south side
North side on the right, east side on the left with the window. Today the window was open all the way. The 2nd story is fully separated from the 1st story except for a 2'x2' access hatch which is kept closed.
As of 9pm, it is 29 out, humidity is 89%. Inside of the coop is 35 with 83% humidity. I closed the front doors at 8pm tonight. Both windows are open 25% right now. I gauge the moisture in the coop by the non-working windows in the front doors. If they frost up on the inside, too much moisture. If they are frost free (or condensation free) I am good. The coop is 2x4 construction with standard fiberglass insulation. Floor is concrete and ceiling is 2x6 rafters with insulation.
