    Coop ventilation

    If I've done my research correctly and my info recall has not taken an absolute dive, I think I remember a hard and fast "rule" of a minimum square 1" ventilation per square feet of coop floor space. Is that am accurate or sufficient "rule" to follow?

    Coop ventilation

    I could extend the roof overhang further out on the low and shielded side of the coop and have the vent close to the roof line. That wall is one of the 66" long sides, so I could get quite a long vent.

    I'm relatively new, so I apologize in advance. I am unaware of/can't locate the "states thread". Do I just post a general "looking for" post somewhere?

    My neighbor’s chickens used to come to our yard to eat the bird seed the wild birds dropped under the feeder. My dogs never tried attacking them. They did scare the chickens a few times walking up to them to “check them out”. There is nothing funnier than a chicken running.

    First, I apologize if this exact question has been asked already. I have decided that I would like to join the backyard chicken club and am still in the research phase as I am the type to research something to death. I want to start with 4 chickens that are known for docility and cold-hardy...
