I am almost to the 'indoor' stage of my chicken building, and am trying to figure out the vents. I don't have pics (surprise, surprise
), so I'll try to give you a visual
The 'coop' is 10'x10'. I am using vertical space to increase my bird count, since this is where my bantam breeders will be. Each 'pen' inside the building will be 5'x3'x3' high.
I was thinking I would need to put vents along the top of the walls, but now I'm not sure? Each pen will have solid top, walls, and floor, with the only screen/wire being the front of the pen. So do you think I need to have vents in each pen instead? I had thought about that before, but I just want to make sure.
Also, the vents are supposed to be on the top or the bottom? Or both??
Thanks for your help
