I've never built one. Seems fairly straight forward. I would recommend using ridge vent as it would be much easier, but a cupola would look really nice.

I agree ridge vent would be easier, but we have two cupolas on the barn, and Bob read somewhere this morning that a cupola is the preferred ventilation method for a peaked roof when one has chickens, and he wants to get it right. It will look nicer, and maybe I'll even get a neat chicken weather vane out of it when all is said and done :)

Aesthetically it will look very nice. Will you have to add more bracing in the roof to attach it too? I am not a builder so have no advice for you........

From what Bob has read, as long as he frames the opening once he cuts it, there should be no additional bracing. It will only be about 20" square, not sure what height he is planning. His big concern is how to frame and build the tiny roof that goes on top.

DENVER (AP) - Silly rabbits.
The furry creatures are wreaking havoc on cars parked at Denver International Airport by eating spark plug cables and other wiring.
To stop the problem, federal wildlife workers are removing at least 100 bunnies a month while parking companies install better fences and build perches for predator hawks and eagles.
Airport spokeswoman Laura Coale says that out of 4.3 million parking transactions in 2012, three claims were submitted for rodent or rabbit damage, and none was submitted with a claim for towing.
Mechanics say coating the wires with fox or coyote urine can rob the rabbits of their appetite. Fox urine can be purchased at many hunting shops. (Copyright 2013 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

This just hit me - Isn't it incredibly dangerous to have birds nesting near an airport???
