Advice on Ventilation

[BobbieB7]

Been converting old swing set fort into a coop since March with zero building skill.
Everything is salvaged
I put cloth screen us along the front and covered with shutters.
You can see the Windows installed. I’m using a corrugated roof. The soffits aren’t done because I’m stuck on whether to just screen between between 2x4’s for ventilation
I live in Rhode Island so winters are cold, which means Windows won’t be helpful for ventilation.
Could you please look at photos and advice me if I need more ventilation and how to achieve.

Soffit vents paired with ridge and/or gable vents provide the optimal ventilation -- letting warm, moist, ammonia-laden air out and fresh air in without creating any drafts.

x2, hardware cloth cover the soffits and that's amazing ventilation especially in colder climates where windows might need to be shut during storms.

Looks pretty good.
Yes, adding HC to soffit openings a must.
Some pics of outside of coop, showing the whole thing, would help here.
