Our genius carpenter friend
Our friend studied backyard chicken articles and came up with a plan for good ventilation. The shed roof structure is 2 x 6 s on end, left open to the outside air front and back to draw in fresh air. It really works well. It’s never hot in the coop in summer and their water never froze overnight last winter. Chickens put out a lot of heat.
He salvaged the corrugated metal roofing from the old shed for the roof and left an overhang on the back end that directs rainwater into the mini pond. T111 covers the sides. Sliding 24” Windows on the east and west sides add ventilation and natural light.
