Coop ventilation

[aubviouslycornyhomestead]

We turned a shed into a coop and we are not sure how to ventilate it if any body has any ideas please let me now

What I did in my coop was I cut windows along the top under the roof so as not to let rain in, and I covered the holes with wire mesh to keep bugs out

Can you post pictures of it so we know what we're working with?

Pictures.
It depends on the roof style on what it will take to get good ventilation. Gambrel style roofs should have rafter extensions sistered on to the rafters of the tiers to extend the roof line to enable ventilation in the roof area.
I have an offset gable roof and I left the spaces between the rafters open, installed a ridge vent, two gable vents, windows on all 4 sides (2 of which remain open year round) and 2 pop doors that remain open year round.

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, and then it's always there!

Welcome to BYC.

Once you show us some photos and tell us where, in general, you're located, we'll be able to help you figure out what you need.

There are a lot of options -- soffit and gable, soffit and ridge, monitor, vent windows under the roof overhang or awnings, .... and in some climates simply pulling all the siding off the downwind side and replacing it with wire.
