    Was the coop door closed? That can make a difference, both in allowing air to flow in the doorway and as an 'exit' for air coming in the upper vents. You felt it on your knees/arms...but where exactly was the breeze coming from? Do your prevailing winds come right at the large front overhang?

    Good move! You can still open it partially to work in there, then close it up when needed. I had a 20 x 20' tarp strung up over my hot tub for months one summer while I fixed it.
