Hi Tim,
Thanks for your advice. If I may ask a stupid question now.....what type of fan would be best to install, a plug-in free standing type or exhaust type of fan that fits into the wall? There is a power box on the wall inside the coop. Would this be safe to keep and plug a fan into or would the chickens peck at it and so it would be better moved? Sorry for the dumb questions, my husband is away overseas at the moment so I'm trying to figure all this stuff out on my own. Living in Thailand, Thais generally don't have chicken coops for their chickens and I'll have to find a Thai to come and build/fix this up a bit, so I will need to be really sure of what I want to do and then explain it well exactly how I want things done (don't relish the thought of explaining that in Thai language!).
One small concern I do have with my plans is that there is a child's louvre bedroom window right beside the coop. Not having had chickens before I have no idea how smelly or noisy it might get. Should I be concerned about this?
As soon as I get some new photos taken, I'd like to post them here to get other's opinions (and to show my new babies off of course LOL)
Thanks
Angela
