    How and Where Do I Add Ventilation to a Vinyl Sided Shed Chicken Coop?

    Soffit Started off using tin snips to cut the metal. Drilled holes into exposed wood to create a start for the reciprocating saw. Found that the saw would cut through the metal too. Next image shows some of the plywood cut out. Next image shows the light coming through from the inside, yay...

    I have decided to open up that soffit area. Definitely doing the underside and it will be the area where the roosts are which is about 4 feet long on each side. the width area available is about 3 inches. Will this be enough or should I go for opening up the out facing area which would be...

    Higher humidity (80%+) in the coop when it rains, snows, or it's damp out?

    Higher humidity (80%+) in the coop when it rains, snows, or it's damp out?

    So I added an additional vent on one of the shed coop gables. I have an enclosed run which I close at night. I am still leaving the pop door open since it's still above 50 degrees most nights. I close the windows and the main door depending on conditions. l've read optimal range for humidity...

    The blue thing is a broom handle I poked in to get a feel for depth and what the backing is. It's wood. The soffit is totally enclosed with wood on all 3 sides. I'm leaning to the gables being the best location.

    I took some pics of the inside to display the area where the roof structure joins the walls. I poked a broom handle into the area that is closed off. I'm guessing that I would have to remove the underside or side of the exterior aluminum fascia to expose the wood and add venting there? Would...

    Fox attack, big flesh wounds

    So sorry this happened. I'm not an expert but we've had a couple intruder attacks against our roosters though not quite so severe and they have recovered. Separating her from the rest of the flock will prevent any pecking of the wound. You might want to dress the wound with antibiotic and...

    How and Where Do I Add Ventilation to a Vinyl Sided Shed Chicken Coop?

    Hi All! My Coop is a Vinyl Sided Shed, 2 windows, I believe I need to add more ventilation to reduce humidity. Today we've had rain and showers all day. I closed one window partially, you can slide it up or down as needed, the other window has a glass cover that you mount over the screen - I...
