    Yes I will be adding more of those horizontal vents stright across the front of the coop in the run area like you mention. The window is not very big but I think it will do the trick. I will be monitoring the interior coop temperature and humidity throughout the summer

    What is an appropriate amount of space of either side of the roost bar for them have in order to get up there? I think I'm just be overly cautious now but what to make sure they have enough clearance to fly up.

    Nest box opening

    Hi, they face West, I still in the process of making the lid for it but I have added weather stripping on the inside so when the lid is closed it will be fairly sealed from wind and water.

    Trimmed out the nesting box opening and lowered the roosting bars. 🤞 Will find out next spring if they like it or if I need to make more adjustments. Getting 4 chickens not sure what breed yet have to do my research to see what's a good egg laying chicken that's kid friendly 🤔

    Thank you for the advice, I can't cut into where you drew red as that's the top of the box, however I can cut down the plywood where you drew the green arrow. Or even remove the plywood and just add a 2x4 for some separation. Why 12" from the wall ? To avoid Poop on the wall ? Thanks
