i wasn’t getting the notifications that people had replied until after I posted this. Doesn’t hurt to have more input and I stated I made a post about the same issue. Thanks

Just gets confusing asking for info in more than one place...and rude per forum etiquette.
The info I just posted on your thread might help the OP here.
@wallpejl check out this thread, shows how to add windows and vents to a metal shed:

They don’t need heat, Jess, even in the winter! They need protection from the wind, and plenty of ventilation well above their heads when they’re roosting.
If you give them heat in October, their feathers and down won’t develop and they’ll be under-protected in the winter.
If you get worried, just look outside at the Blue Jays, Chickadees, and all the rest. No heat for them and they are outdoors all winter!

There isn’t any heat running in my coop. Just trying to get some ideas on how to ventilate it better since Metal is so thin and hard to work with. I have seen people get the heated perches but I’m not going to do that either. I just want to prevent them from getting frostbite and/or sick.

I don't see where @JessRae mentioned heat
