Coop ventilation

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/
