We just setup our OverEZ large chicken coop, we don't have chickens yet. There is a gap (big enough for me to stick a finger through) at the hinge area where the nesting box lid opens. Should I go ahead and figure out some kind of way to close this off - or leave it as some extra ventilation? We do live in an area with lots of opposums, skunks, snakes, etc.

Added pictures- it looks tiny from the outside so maybe it's okay.

Okay - I'll have to add a picture when I get home. I wasn't sure if anyone might see this that had the same coop and could tell me their experience. Thanks for the quick replies!
 
Typical for those placements of hinges to leak, but I've never seen one with taht big of a gap.
Someone screwed up(too high) at the factory.
