Ladies are growing fast and their house is almost finished. They have just moved in and love the new space.

That's a nice large space but I can't see the ventilation. Can you show the full design that shows the ventilation? How did you set up the interior?

My goal is to make this like a mini house. I'm adding a garage to park mower and tools. I found a case for a/c condenser and I wand to place an exhaust fan inside and run ducts for ventilation. I have to remind myself it's for a chicken. Using what I have on hand and building it myself.

Kinda want saloon style doors for the exit to run.

Still seeing zero ventilation. Can you show pictures of how you are ventilating that structure please? It is one of the most, if not the most, important features of healthy chicken housing.

But it's not a house and exhaust fan and duct work is not a good idea for a chicken coop.
What is the climate/location?

Yes, yes you do.

I'm in East Texas. The exhaust is to promote positive air flow. Adding two more windows on east side.

The exhaust is to promote positive air flow.

So you'll have it blowing into the coop,
to push the hot air out all the windows?
You won't need ducts to do that.

Here's how to add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

What I'm wanting to do is use a high cfm fan disguised as an ac condenser. With duct going to ceiling to draw out hot air and positive air flow in through windows. I'm hoping to get a deal on closed cell foam insulation.
