    Need Ventilation Advice (updated coop pictures 8/15)

    So i've added an awning of sorts off the front of the coop into the run, i started out with it one way and decided i needed some more bracing so i added some more lateral bracing and posts to strengthen it up and now its rock solid, im probably gonna put some white ribbed pvc roofing ontop of it...

    Need Ventilation Advice (updated coop pictures 8/15)

    We have 17 right now but im sure she will end up somewhere around 25 eventually, I figured shading the run would be good, my main issue is my dad built the run as I didn't have time and e didnt make the posts a consistent height and there only around 6ft high which seems like a pain to have to...

    Girls love the new Fan

    Need Ventilation Advice (updated coop pictures 8/15)

    the back side has an identicle window, i figured there may be no real solution to bring it down to the exact outside temperature but if i can get any closer im willing to try, most my concern comes from reading that chickens can have issues living in 90-100+ temps for long stretches, this may be...
