Exhaust Fans - Any Recommendations?

[Farmgirl1878]

We just built our first coop and was wondering if any of you guys have any recommendations for an exhaust fan?

An exhaust fan usually is not necessary if coop is built with proper ventilation.
You do not include your location in your profile, so there may be variations to responses. If you are where it is extremely hot, (right now), I suggest providing additional openings (secured) in your coop. If you are in the southern hemisphere where it is cold now, and need additional ventilation, do it high above the chicken roost area.
If you are still convinced that a fan is needed, I would suggest a wind operated turbine type. Makes no noise and works continuously. They come in different sizes to suit different needs.

Electric power vents need electricity and ether a timer or temp switch. There are solar powered mini vents also. They do make a buzzing sound that may be OK or not. Sun goes down and fan will stop. If one is battery backed, it will run for a while after sundown.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,

Get something rated for a dusty environment, barn fans will have this caveat.
