Great suggestion, and definitely much easier. Thank you!

I’m in Canada, not the US. The problem with the 5”x5” windows is that one is facing a wall. There is a niche there, so it’s actually almost 3’ from the wall, but the other sides of the coop are touching the brick.

I might do the poop board conversion as well, it can get pretty hot in there during the day. Thanks!
