Coop ventilation

Looks like a metal shed?
Gonna be tough without any roof overhangs.
Might have to frame some windows with wall studs inside,
and add awnings over them or extend the roofing with more metal for overhangs.
 
I'm currently not in any condition to make a detailed post, but here are some general resources for you. Some may be useful, some may not.

Since you don't have much in the way of overhangs, top-hinged windows might be the best option. Here's how to make a safe, adjustable prop for them: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/window-support-for-top-hinged-windows.74810/

Adding roof extensions to shelter the vents can be intimidating to inexperienced handymen. Here's how-to (and how not to), extend a roof by sistering the extension to the rafters: https://strousehomeinspections.com/blog/structural-roof-extensions.html

And here is how to use lookouts to extend the roof at right-angles to the rafters: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...e-overhangs-eaves-of-a-shed-coop-house.76599/

This member did a nicer job putting awnings up than I did on my brooder: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/check-out-my-chicken-tractor.1456418/post-24496139

And my ugly, but functional awnings: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/run-to-outdoor-brooder-conversion.76634/
