draft

We have bought a property with a pre-built coop. I just want to make sure it’s ventilated but not drafty. The top is open and goes to the outside. I KNOW this needs to be covered with hardware cloth to prevent vermin coming in. But is this considered drafty? Should I board up the interior roof...
