    Is my coop all wrong?!

    I’d add a vent or two under the tips of the roof ridges, you will want to close those windows in the winter. Also you can move those roosting bars to create more room for them. the top bar will be “fought” over so I like to have my bars all at the same height. Allow them enough space, 12 inches...
