The drawings are awesome. It makes me feel better about our ventilation. We have a shed roof on ours with vents on the low side facing north which is shady with trees, the high area is to the south. We have soffit vents on the south side and also top hinged windows. This is where our mostly covered run is. We also have hanging fans in front of the north facing vents to pull the cooler air on and upwards through the exit vents. When we had 105 days this summer with no wind it was very hard for the chickens but we helped mitigate this in different ways and everyone survived, I do know there were people here in NE who lost many.
Repecka!!!! That’s uniquely amazing and great job!!! You made a seemingly daunting task much easier and more fun to think about!! Our feathered family is doing great in our “up and down” Wisconsin weather!!
My family has been gathering coop Intel for about a month, as we are trying to figure out the best way to house our chickens. We put together a plan and started to execute it, thinking we were on the right track. I wish we had read this article first.
The pictures are hilarious, which makes the educational aspect of the writing more than palatable. The information is on point and very helpful. There truly is a science to the great chicken undertaking, and this article is instrumental in guiding people correctly through the process.
